A convex quadrilateral is equidiagonal if and only if its Varignon parallelogram, the parallelogram formed by the midpoints of its sides, is a rhombus.An equivalent condition is that the bimedians of the quadrilateral (the diagonals of the Varignon parallelogram) are perpendicular.
[19] [20] An equidiagonal kite is a special case of a midsquare quadrilateral. When an equidiagonal kite has side lengths less than or equal to its diagonals, like this one or the square, it is one of the quadrilaterals with the greatest ratio of area to diameter. [21]
Equidiagonal quadrilateral: the diagonals are of equal length. Bisect-diagonal quadrilateral: one diagonal bisects the other into equal lengths. Every dart and kite is bisect-diagonal. When both diagonals bisect another, it's a parallelogram. Ex-tangential quadrilateral: the four extensions of the sides are tangent to an excircle.
In general, any quadrilateral with perpendicular diagonals, one of which is a line of symmetry, is a kite. Every rhombus is a kite, and any quadrilateral that is both a kite and parallelogram is a rhombus. A rhombus is a tangential quadrilateral. [10] That is, it has an inscribed circle that is tangent to all four sides. A rhombus.

The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid have the same length; that is, every isosceles trapezoid is an equidiagonal quadrilateral. Moreover, the diagonals divide each other in the same proportions. As pictured, the diagonals AC and BD have the same length (AC = BD) and divide each other into segments of the same length (AE = DE and BE = CE).
The quadrilaterals that are both equidiagonal and orthodiagonal are the midsquare quadrilaterals. They include the square with unit-length diagonals, which has area . Infinitely many other midsquare quadrilaterals also have diameter one and have the same area as the square, so in this case the solution is not unique.
In any quadrilateral, the four edge midpoints form a parallelogram, the Varignon parallelogram, whose sides are parallel to the diagonals and half their length.It follows that, in an equidiagonal and orthodiagonal quadrilateral, the sides of the Varignon parallelogram are equal-length and perpendicular; that is, it is a square.
