Rhombus Corollary • A quadrilateral is a rhombus if and only if it has four congruent sides.
Theorem • A parallelogram is a rhombus if and only if its diagonals are perpendicular.
Theorem • A parallelogram is a rhombus if and only if each diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles.
Example:For any rhombus QRST, decide whether the statement is always or sometimes true.
Rectangle Corollary • A quadrilateral is a rectangle if and only if it has four right angles.
Theorem • A parallelogram is a rectangle if and only if its diagonals are congruent.
