Key idea: Special parallelograms
**Rectangle** (parallelogram + all angles 90°):
- All properties of a parallelogram.
- Diagonals are EQUAL (in addition to bisecting each other).
**Rhombus** (parallelogram + all sides equal):
- All properties of a parallelogram.
- Diagonals bisect each other AT RIGHT ANGLES.
- Diagonals also bisect the angles of the rhombus.
**Square** (rectangle + rhombus):
- All properties of both.
- Diagonals: equal, bisect at right angles, AND bisect angles.
- All properties of a parallelogram.
- Diagonals are EQUAL (in addition to bisecting each other).
**Rhombus** (parallelogram + all sides equal):
- All properties of a parallelogram.
- Diagonals bisect each other AT RIGHT ANGLES.
- Diagonals also bisect the angles of the rhombus.
**Square** (rectangle + rhombus):
- All properties of both.
- Diagonals: equal, bisect at right angles, AND bisect angles.
