Which of the following is not a property of all parallelogram?
Answer Details
The property that is not true for all parallelograms is: "the diagonal cut at right angles". Explanation: A parallelogram is a four-sided figure with opposite sides parallel. Its diagonals (lines connecting opposite corners) bisect each other, meaning they divide each other into two equal parts. Also, each diagonal bisects the area of the parallelogram, and the opposite sides and angles are equal. However, the diagonals do not always cut at right angles. In fact, they only cut at right angles if and only if the parallelogram is a rectangle (a special type of parallelogram with all angles equal to 90 degrees). Therefore, the correct answer is "the diagonal cut at right angles".
