A square is a rhombus with right angles so you would need to know one of the angles or an exterior angle or another angle that shares a vertex with the shape.

Where can you find pictures of a rhombus?

I think some baseball fields are shaped in the shape of a rhombus and some mirrors are too.


How do you find the square root of expresions?

There are different answers for different expressions but essentially, you can either evaluate the expression and then find the square root using a calculator, computer or numerical methods, or you can work out the square root algebraically.


How do you find quadrilateral perimeter if i have only one side?

Unless it is a rhombus (or square) you cannot.


How do you find the perimeter of a rhombus when area is given?

There is no relationship between the perimeter and the area of a rhombus. Take a rhombus with all 4 sides = 2 units. Therefore the perimeter is 8 units. There are an infinite number of possible areas for this rhombus. The largest possible area will be when the rhombus approaches the shape of a square = 4 square units. The smallest area will be when the one diagonal approaches 0 units and the other diagonal approaches 4 units (squashed almost flat). So two very extreme areas can have the same perimeter, including all those areas in-between.


How do you find the area of a 4 side shape with all different liths?

Assuming "liths" is an unusual way of spelling lengths, you cannot because a quadrilateral is not a rigid shape. It can be deformed into a quadrilateral with the same sides but a different area. This can be illustrated by thinking of a square deforming into a rhombus. Same sides but different area.

How do you find the ratio of a circle inscribed a rhombus?

A rhombus is a flexible shape which can range from almost a square to a very narrow shape. A rhombus with sides of x cm can contain a circle with any radius less than x/2 cm. The information in the question is insufficient to determine the radius. And a ratio requires some characteristic of the inscribed circle to be compared to an analogous characteristic of another shape.

How do you find the radius of a rhombus?

A rhombus cannot be a cyclic quadrilateral because its opposite angles are not supplementary (unless it is a square). It cannot, therefore, have a radius.

How do you work out the area of an irregular rhombus type shape?

To find the area, first divide the shape into regular, simple shapes. Then use formulas to find the area of the smaller, regular shapes. Lastly, add up all the smaller areas to find the area of the original shape.
