alleryThe diagonals of a RHOMBUS are:
AEqual in length, but not perpendicular
BPerpendicular bisectors of each other (but not generally equal)
CParallel to the sides
DAlways equal to the sides
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Perpendicular bisectors of each other (but not generally equal)
A rhombus inherits 'diagonals bisect each other' from being a parallelogram.
Additionally, because all four sides are equal, the triangles formed are isosceles and the diagonals turn out to be perpendicular.
**So:** perpendicular bisectors.
Their LENGTHS are usually not equal (that happens only for a square).
