III. square
A quadrilateral ABCD has diagonals that are perpendicular bisectors of one another. Which of the following classifications must apply to quadrilateral ABCD?
I. parallelogram
II. rhombus
III. square
If the diagonals of a quadrilateral are perpendicular bisectors of one another, then the quadrilateral must be a rhombus, but not necessarily a square. Since all rhombi are also parallelograms, quadrilateral ABCD must be both a rhombus and parallelogram.

A rhombus is a quadrilateral ( sided figure) with
 sided figure) with  congruent sides. The perimeter is the sum of the sides. Thus, to find the perimeter of the rhombus, we multiply the perimeter by
 congruent sides. The perimeter is the sum of the sides. Thus, to find the perimeter of the rhombus, we multiply the perimeter by  . This gives us
