Question

If only the measures of the diagonals are given, which of these quadrilaterals can be constructed?
1) Square 2) Rectangle 3) Rhombus

A.

1 and 2

B.

1 only

C.

3 only

D.

1 and 3

Correct option is D

Concept Used:
To determine which quadrilaterals can be constructed from diagonal lengths, we need to analyze the properties of the diagonals for each type of quadrilateral:
Square: Diagonals are equal and perpendicular bisectors of each other.
Rectangle: Diagonals are equal but not necessarily perpendicular.
Rhombus: Diagonals are perpendicular bisectors but are not necessarily equal.
Solution:
A square can be constructed if the diagonals are equal and their perpendicularity is enforced and sides are equal
A rectangle cannot be constructed with only equal diagonals, as perpendicularity can not enforced and side are not equal
A rhombus can be uniquely constructed from diagonal measures since the diagonals are perpendicular, and their sides are also equal.
Therefore, a rectangle and a rhombus can be constructed, but a square cannot be constructed with only the diagonal lengths. 
Thus, Option (d) is correct.
