Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:02 Are all the triangles formed by the diagonals of a rhombus the same size?
00:08 First, remember that in a rhombus, all the sides are equal in length.
00:14 Also, the diagonals of a rhombus cross each other at equal angles.
00:24 So, triangles are congruent using Side, Angle, Side. That's S, A, S.
00:35 And that's how we find the answer to our question.

Answer

Yes
