Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine whether parallelogram GHJI is a rhombus, we need to verify if all sides are equal and if the diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
In the image, we see a parallelogram with the point K, where diagonals GJ and HI intersect. The diagram marks angle ∠GKH as a right angle, which indicates that the diagonals of GHJI are perpendicular to each other.
A key property of a rhombus is that the diagonals bisect each other at 90 degrees. Since the diagonals of GHJI meet at a right angle, GHJI satisfies this property of a rhombus.
Therefore, yes, parallelogram GHJI is a rhombus.
