Let’s get the big reveal out of the way: yes, the diagonals of a rectangle always bisect each other. That means they cut each other exactly in half, right at their crossing point. Every single time, no matter how skinny or chubby your rectangle is.
Not convinced? Grab a piece of paper, a ruler, and draw any rectangle. Then draw a line from one corner to the opposite corner—that’s a diagonal. Now draw the other diagonal. See that X in the middle? Where they cross is the exact midpoint of both lines.
I swear, it’s like magic, but it’s actually geometry. And the best part? It works for squares, too—because a square is just a rectangle that’s a show-off about its equal sides.
