In geometry, a rhombus (or rhomb; plural rhombi) is a quadrilateral in which all of the sides are of equal length, i.e., it is an equilateral quadrangle. If any angle of an equilateral quadrangle is a right angle, then all its angles are right angles and it is also a square. In colloquial usage the shape is often described as a diamond or lozenge.

Is A Rhombus A Square

In geometry, a rhombus (or rhomb; plural rhombi) is a quadrilateral in which all of the sides are of equal length, i.e., it is an equilateral quadrangle. If any angle of an equilateral quadrangle is a right angle, then all its angles are right angles and it is also a square. In colloquial usage the shape is often described as a diamond or lozenge.

In any rhombus opposite sides will be parallel. Thus, the rhombus is a special case of the parallelogram. One suggestive analogy is that the rhombus is to the parallelogram as the square is to the rectangle. A rhombus is also a special case of a kite, that is, a quadrilateral with two pairs of equal adjacent sides. The opposite sides of a kite are not parallel unless the kite is also a rhombus.

A rhombus in the plane has five degrees of freedom: one for the shape, one for the size, one for the orientation, and two for the position.

The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other. Hence, by joining the midpoints of each side, a rectangle can be produced.

One of the five 2D lattice types is the rhombic lattice, also called centered rectangular lattice.

Adjacent angles of a rhombus are supplementary

a square is a rhombus with equal sides and 90 degree angels.

Rhombus is not a square because square is not diagonal and rhombus is

No, but a square is a rhombus. A square is kind of the perfect quadrilateral. It is a rhombus, a rectangle and even a parallelogram.

Every square is a rhombus.
Not every rhombus is a square.
A square is a special type of rhombus in that all angles of a square are 90°
The set of squares is a subset of the set of rhombuses. (rhombii)

All squares are rhombi, but not all rhombi are squares. A rhombus has four sides of equal length. A square has four sides of equal length and has all 90 degree angles.

wrong rhombus is not a square

a rhombus is different

square: all sides of the same length with all right angles
rhombus: all sides of the same length. the angles opposite eachother must be the same

You're neglecting to mention that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular, and bisect each other. This works for a square.
