Question

State, 'true' or 'false'
The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other.

Options

  • True 

  • False

MCQ
True or False

Solution

True.
This is true because we know that a rectangle is a parallelogram. So, all the properties of a parallelogram are true for a rectangle. Since the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, the same holds true for a rectangle.
