The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, "The diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other. This quadrilateral is a:", we need to analyze the properties of the given options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: We need to identify which type of quadrilateral has the property that its diagonals bisect each other. 2. **Analyzing Option A - Rectangle**: - A rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposite sides equal and all angles equal to 90 degrees. - In a rectangle, the diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other. - Therefore, this option satisfies the condition. 3. **Analyzing Option B - Kite**: - A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal. - In a kite, the diagonals are not equal, and only one of the diagonals bisects the other. - Therefore, this option does not satisfy the condition. 4. **Analyzing Option C - Trapezium**: - A trapezium (or trapezoid in some regions) is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. - The diagonals of a trapezium do not necessarily bisect each other. - Therefore, this option does not satisfy the condition. 5. **Analyzing Option D - None of These**: - Since we have already identified that a rectangle meets the criteria, this option is incorrect. 6. **Conclusion**: The only quadrilateral among the options whose diagonals bisect each other is a rectangle. ### Final Answer: The quadrilateral whose diagonals bisect each other is a **rectangle**. ---
