Demystifying - Diagonals of the special quadrilaterals

Drills

Which quadrilaterals have diagonals that are equal, perpendicular or bisect each other, and naming a shape from its diagonals.

Author note — to cover

Which special quadrilaterals have diagonals that are equal, perpendicular, bisect each other or bisect the angles, summarised side by side, and naming the quadrilateral that stated diagonal facts force. Proving diagonal properties with congruent triangles belongs to the congruence group. Both tiers. (G4)
