Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks to "select the properties of all squares." Let's review each statement you selected to determine which ones are correct for a square:
-
Exactly one diagonal is bisected by the other diagonal: This is incorrect. In a square, both diagonals bisect each other.
-
The diagonals are perpendicular: This is correct. In a square, the diagonals meet at a 90-degree angle.
-
Opposite angles are congruent: This is correct. All angles in a square are 90 degrees, and opposite angles are congruent.
-
All sides are congruent: This is correct. A defining property of a square is that all sides are equal in length.
-
Opposite sides are congruent: This is correct. As all sides are equal, opposite sides are congruent.
-
All angles are congruent: This is correct. In a square, all four angles are 90 degrees.
-
The diagonals are congruent: This is correct. The diagonals in a square are equal in length.
-
Opposite sides are parallel: This is correct. Opposite sides of a square are parallel to each other.
-
The diagonals bisect each other: This is correct. In a square, the diagonals bisect each other at a 90-degree angle.
Corrected Properties:
- The following options should be selected for all squares:
- The diagonals are perpendicular.
- Opposite angles are congruent.
- All sides are congruent.
- Opposite sides are congruent.
- All angles are congruent.
- The diagonals are congruent.
- Opposite sides are parallel.
- The diagonals bisect each other.

Here are 5 related questions to consider:
- What is the difference between a square and a rectangle in terms of diagonals?
- How do the properties of a square compare to those of a rhombus?
- Are the diagonals of a square always equal to its side lengths?
- What is the relationship between the diagonals and area of a square?
- How does the concept of symmetry apply to squares?
Tip: A square can also be considered a rectangle, rhombus, and parallelogram, because it satisfies the properties of each of these quadrilaterals.
