Question

Which of these is not a property of rectangles?

• A. Opposite sides are equal.
• B. Adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other.
• C. The diagonals are of equal length and intersect perpendicularly.
• D. The diagonals are of equal length and bisect each other.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

The diagonals are of equal length and intersect perpendicularly.

The properties of rectangle are:
- Opposite sides are equal.
- All the internal angles are equal.
- Adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other.
- Both the diagonals are of equal length and bisect each other.

There is no rule that the diagonals of the rectangle are perpendicular to each other.
