  2. Perpendicular - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpendicular

    An orthodiagonal quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose diagonals are perpendicular. These include the square, the rhombus, and the kite. By Brahmagupta's theorem, in an orthodiagonal quadrilateral that is also cyclic, a line through the midpoint of one side and through the intersection point of the diagonals is perpendicular to the opposite side.

  3. Orthodiagonal quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodiagonal_quadrilateral

    where P is the point of intersection of the diagonals. From this equation it follows almost immediately that the diagonals of a convex quadrilateral are perpendicular if and only if the projections of the diagonal intersection onto the sides of the quadrilateral are the vertices of a cyclic quadrilateral. [6]

  4. Rhombus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombus

    Using congruent triangles, one can prove that the rhombus is symmetric across each of these diagonals. It follows that any rhombus has the following properties: Opposite angles of a rhombus have equal measure. The two diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular; that is, a rhombus is an orthodiagonal quadrilateral. Its diagonals bisect opposite ...

  5. Brahmagupta theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmagupta_theorem

    In geometry, Brahmagupta's theorem states that if a cyclic quadrilateral is orthodiagonal (that is, has perpendicular diagonals), then the perpendicular to a side from the point of intersection of the diagonals always bisects the opposite side. [1] It is named after the Indian mathematician Brahmagupta (598-668). [2]

  6. Kite (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_(geometry)

    Every kite is an orthodiagonal quadrilateral, meaning that its two diagonals are at right angles to each other. Moreover, one of the two diagonals (the symmetry axis) is the perpendicular bisector of the other, and is also the angle bisector of the two angles it meets. [1] Because of its symmetry, the other two angles of the kite must be equal.

  7. Quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrilateral

    Note 1: The most general trapezoids and isosceles trapezoids do not have perpendicular diagonals, but there are infinite numbers of (non-similar) trapezoids and isosceles trapezoids that do have perpendicular diagonals and are not any other named quadrilateral. Note 2: In a kite, one diagonal bisects the other.

  8. Tangential quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_quadrilateral

    The two diagonals and the two tangency chords are concurrent. [11] [10]: p.11 One way to see this is as a limiting case of Brianchon's theorem, which states that a hexagon all of whose sides are tangent to a single conic section has three diagonals that meet at a point. From a tangential quadrilateral, one can form a hexagon with two 180 ...

  9. Midsquare quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midsquare_quadrilateral

    A midsquare quadrilateral (light blue), with its two equal-length perpendicular diagonals (black) and its midsquare (dark blue) In elementary geometry, a quadrilateral whose diagonals are perpendicular and of equal length has been called a midsquare quadrilateral (referring to the square formed by its four edge midpoints).
