Geometry Help!!

Suppose the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other. Can you conclude that it is a rhombus, a rectangle, or a square?


I think it's a Rhombus but i'm not too sure.

So it's a square?

In order to be a square it needs to be both a rhombus and a rectangle. Since it is neither of those, it is also not a square.

aren't squares and rectangles special parallelograms (opposite sides equal and parallel)? So that not only are diagonals bisected for squares and rectangles, but the most inclusive answer is the diagonals are bisected in parallelograms.

2. Aren't there rhombuses where diagonals are not bisecting, but the special rhombus that is a square and therefore a parallelogram of course do have bisecting diagonals.
