Do the diagonals of a square bisect each other?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking whether the diagonals of a square intersect at their midpoints, which means determining if they bisect each other. This is a characteristic property of squares in geometry.
Answer
Yes, the diagonals of a square bisect each other.
The diagonals of a square bisect each other.
Answer for screen readers
The diagonals of a square bisect each other.
More Information
In a square, not only do the diagonals bisect each other, but they also intersect at right angles and bisect the internal angles of the square.
Tips
A common mistake is to only consider bisecting diagonals in parallelograms without noting the additional properties unique to squares.
