Look at the following rhombus:
Are the diagonals of the rhombus parallel?
The diagonals of the rhombus intersect at their point of intersection, and therefore are not parallel
No.
Look at the following rhombus:
Are the diagonals of the rhombus parallel?
Great question! Yes, a rhombus has opposite sides that are parallel, but this doesn't affect the diagonals. The diagonals connect opposite vertices and always intersect in the middle, making them perpendicular, not parallel.
If two lines never meet, even if you extend them forever, they're parallel. If they cross or intersect at any point, they cannot be parallel. It's that simple!
Not always! In a rectangle, diagonals intersect but aren't perpendicular. In a square (special rhombus), diagonals are perpendicular. Each shape has its own diagonal properties.
Rhombus diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other! This means they:
No! If two line segments share a common endpoint (like diagonals of any quadrilateral do), they cannot be parallel. Parallel lines must be completely separate with no points in common.
