Question

In which of the following figures are the diagonals not always equal?

• A. Rectangle, square, and trapezoid
• B. Rectangle and rhombus
• C. Rhombus and trapezoid
• D. Rectangle, square, rhombus, and trapezoid

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rhombus and trapezoid


The diagonals of a square are equal and they bisect each other at right angles.
The diagonals of a rectangle are equal and they bisect each other.
The diagonals of a rhombus are equal only if it is a square.
The diagonals of a trapezoid are equal only if it is an isosceles trapezoid.

So, the diagonals of a rhombus and a trapezoid are not always equal.
