what is a trapezium and a Rhombus?

Answer 1

Quadrilaterals are geometric shapes having four sides. (Like squares and rectangles)

If one pair of opposite sides is parallel you call it a trapezium. It looks like a trampoline from the side.

If both pairs of opposite sides are parallel it is called a parallelogram.

A rectangle is a special parallelogram where all the angles inside are right angles.

If a rectangle has all sides equal it is a square.

If a parallelogram has all sides equal, it is called a Rhombus.

A square is a special rhombus that has all angles inside at 90 degrees.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

There are two common definitions of the trapezium. The American definition is a quadrilateral with no parallel sides. The British definition for a trapezium is a quadrilateral with two sides parallel (Bronshtein and Semendyayev 1977, p. 174). Such a trapezium is equivalent to a trapezoid and therefore has area

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel and all sides the same length, i.e., an equilateral parallelogram. The word rhomb is sometimes used instead of rhombus, and a rhombus is sometimes also called a diamond. A rhombus with is sometimes called a lozenge.

I thought that you meant trapezoid instead of trapezium. According to the above webpage, trapezium has two different definitions. The American definition is a quadilateral with no parallel sides, the British definition is a quadilateral with 2 parallel sides (so the same as a trapezoid). A trapezoid is a quadilateral with one pair of parallel sides.

A rhombus is a quadilateral in which all sides have equal length. Some could call this a "slanted square", but this is not entirely accurate since a square is a special type of rhombus and a square is not "slanted".

Answer 4

a trapezium is a quadrilateral,(i.e., a figure of 4 sides) having two sides parallel and rest two not . whereas a rhombus is a kind of slanted square with its diagonals intersecting at 90 degrees.

Answer 6

trapezium is quadrilateral with 2 of the sides in parallels, and the other opposite two not parallels and the extension of them to make an angle between (0,90) (without 0 and 90).


rhombus is a square with one of the angles of 60 (automatically the opposite one is equal to him, and the tow opposite ones near him are 120)

Answer 7

a trapezium has only 1 pair of parallel lines while a rhombus has two pairs of parallel lines which are all equal. have fun learning it!

Answer 8

a Rhombus is a slanted square
