EXAMPLE 1 Use properties of special quadrilaterals
For any rhombus QRST, decide whether the statement is always or sometimes true. Draw a sketch and explain your reasoning.
a. Q S
SOLUTION
a. By definition, a rhombus is a parallelogram with four
congruent sides. By Theorem 8.4, opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.
So, .The statement is always true.
Q S

EXAMPLE 1 Use properties of special quadrilaterals
b. If rhombus QRST is a square, then all four angles are congruent right angles. So, if QRST is a square. Because not all rhombuses are also squares, the statement is sometimes true.
Q R
For any rhombus QRST, decide whether the statement is always or sometimes true. Draw a sketch and explain your reasoning.
Q Rb.
