None of that is true of a rhombus.
-- A rhombus must have two pairs of parallel sides.
-- A rhombus need not have any square corners. But
if it has any at all, then it has four of them, and most
people looking at it would call it a square.

A polygon with 4 equal sides and two pairs of parallel sides?
This is called a square or a rhombus. If the vertices of the four corners are all right angles, it is a square. Otherwise it is a rhombus.
Does all rhombuses have right angles?
A rhombus has no right angles. A square and a rectangle have right angles. A rhombus is a four sided figure where all sides have the same length and with parallel opposing sides similar to a square. However, while a square has only right angles, a rhombus has two opposing acute angles and two opposing obtuse angles. A rhombus, like a square and rectangle, is a parallelogram, indicating that opposing sides are parallel. A rhombus, square, rectangle and trapezoid are all called quadrilaterals, meaning four sided.
Is ever rhombus with four right angles a square?
A square is technically a rhombus - but a rhombus is never a square. The definition of a rhombus is that it has two pairsof parallel sides. A square is defined as having all foursides equal,
Is a square a shape with two parallel sides and no right angles?
No. A square has 2 sets of parallel sides and FOUR RIGHT ANGLES.A rhombus has two sets of parallel sides and NO right angles.
How are a square and a rhombus alike and different?
A square and a rhombus both have equal side lengths, however a square has four 90 degree angles. A rhombus can have differing angles. They don't have to be all 90.They both have four sides and all four sides are the same size. While all four corners of a square are right angles, this does not have to be true for a rhombus.

Is a square always a rectangle and rhombus?
Yes, a square is a specific type of rectangle or rhombus. The only qualifications for a rectangle are that the corners have the make 90 degree angles and the sides have to be parallel, any square meets those qualifications.
Why is a square both a rhombus and a rectangle?
A square is a rectangle. A square is a rectangle with equal sides. A rectangle Has to have 4 right angles (and only 4 corners). A Square has the same definition (4 right angles, and only 4 corners) but all the sides have to be equal. A square is not a rhombus. A rhombus is a parallelogram with equal sides. A parallelogram has to have 4 sides (2 pairs of equal sides.) The equal sides must be parallel. A rhombus has the same definition (4 sides - 2 pairs of equal sides. The equal sides must be parallel.) but all the sides have to be equal lengths.
Is a rhombus also a square?
A rhombus can be a square, but not necessarily.A square is always also a rhombus.A rhombus has 4 equal sides with opposite sides parallel and opposite angles equal.A square has 4 equal sides with opposite sides parallel and all angles 90o.
Does all rhombuses have right angles?

How can a quadrilateral be classified as a rhombus but not a square?
A square must have 4 parallel sides of equal length and 4 right angles, a rhombus does not need to have any right angles (but can include one or more right angles).
What 2D shape has 4 angles opposite sides parallel?
A square, a rectangle or a rhombus !
Can a square be a ruombus explain?
A rhombus is a four-sided shape where all sides have equal length. Also opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are equal. I think those criteria will work for a square too. BUT a square has right angles, so a rhombus may not be a square. So here is the story, simplified for you. Since every rhombus has 4 sides all of equal length, and the opposition angle are equal and oppositie sides are parallel, every square is a rhombus. But there is nothing that says a rhombus needs to have right angles. A square needs right angles so a rhombus may not be a square.
How does a square differ from a rhombus?
A square is a rhombus with all angles 90o. When the angles of a rhombus are not all 90o, it differs from the square in this respect, and the diagonals are not of equal length unlike those of a square. A rhombus is like a square in that all its sides are equal in length, opposite sides are parallel and the diagonals are perpendicular and bisect each other.
