Which quadrilateral does NOT always have congruent diagonals? Explain why.

A. Rhombus

Note: A rhombus does not always have congruent diagonals because while its diagonals bisect each other at right angles, they are not necessarily equal in length.

Answer (3)

the formule of rhombus is 1/2 d1,d2 since the both diagonals can be of different lenght becos the diagonal through the base may not be equal to the diagonal of the hypotenuse,since the rhombus is a square also

Most quadrilateral will not have congruent diagonals: rectangles (incl squares) and isosceles trapezium are the exception.

A rhombus does not always have congruent diagonals because although they bisect each other at right angles, their lengths can differ. In contrast, squares and rectangles do have congruent diagonals. Thus, a rhombus is an example of a quadrilateral where the diagonals are not always congruent.
