Some rhombuses can be parallelograms. It all depends on the direction of the sides. A diamond is a rhombus that is not a parallelogram A square is a rhombus that is a parallelogram

Are parallelograms rhombuses?

Some parallelograms are rhombuses, but all rhombuses are parallelograms. A parallelogram is a rhombus if and only if all of it's sides are the same length.


Is it true that rhombuses are special parallelograms?

Yes, it is true that rhombuses are special types of parallelograms. A rhombus is defined as a parallelogram in which all four sides are of equal length. This means that while all rhombuses are parallelograms, not all parallelograms are rhombuses, as parallelograms can have sides of different lengths. Additionally, rhombuses have the property of having diagonals that bisect each other at right angles.


Can a quadrilateral be a parallelogram and a rhombus?

Yes. All rhombuses are parallelograms, but the reverse is not true. (I.e. there are parallelograms which are rhombuses and there a parallelograms that are not rhombuses. -- Just like Every bus has wheels but not everything with wheels is a bus.)

Some parallelograms are squares?

By definition, all squares are parallelograms. Not all parallelograms, however, are squares. All rectangles and rhombuses are also parallelograms.


Are all rhombuses also rectangles?

No. Rhombuses that are also rectangles are called squares. Rhombuses are parallelograms with 4 equal sides, while rectangles are parallelograms where all the angles are right.


Are parallelograms and rhombus the same think?

No. All rhombi (rhombuses) are parallelograms but all parallelograms are not rhombi.


Are some trapezoids rhombuses?

Yes. To be a trapezoid, a quadrilateral must have one pair of sides that are parallel. Since rhombuses are parallelograms, they are all also trapezoids, so a subset of trapezoids are rhombuses.


Why are all squares rhombuses?
