Can diagonal of a parallelogram be congruent to one of its sides

Explanation:

1.It is a quadrilateral where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. If we have a parallelogram where all sides are congruent then we have what is called a rhombus. ... In an isosceles trapezoid the diagonals are always congruent.

2.All the properties of a parallelogram apply (the ones that matter here are parallel sides, opposite sides are congruent, and diagonals bisect each other). All angles are right angles by definition. The diagonals are congruent.
