Which quadrilaterals have diagnols that intersect at right angles?
Square and Rhombus. A Square is actually a Rhombus with right angles, so it would also be (technically) correct to just say "Rhombus". In a test it would probably be safer to say both, rather than getting too technical about it...
Is an rhonbus a square?
A rhombus just needs to have its sides equal, but a square has to have both its sides and angles equal. A square is a rhombus, but you can't say a rhombus is a square. So the answer is no.
What quadrilaterals have have diagonals that are perpendicular to each other?
Square, rhombus and a kite all have perpendicular diagonalsSquare and Rhombus. A Square is actually a Rhombus with right angles, so it would also be (technically) correct to just say "Rhombus". In a test it would probably be safer to say both, rather than getting too technical about it...
Is a rhombus a square or is a square a rhombus?
a rhombus is a kite. * * * * * A rhombus is not a kite. A rhombus is not a square because all four angles of a square are equal and those of a rhombus are not. Normally, a rhombus is defined as a quadrilateral all of whose sides are equal and whose opposite angles are the same. I am not sure that this excludes the case where these angles are two pairs of 90 degree angles and therefore, form a square. So, at a stretch, one could say that a square is a special kind of rhombus.
Why is that every square is a rhombus?
every square is just a different size of one shape, and a rhombus is a quadralateral with 4 congruent sides and parralell opposite sides. These criteria apply to squares, with the additional criteria that all angles in a square are right angles. A square is also a special case of a rectangle, with the additional criteria that all sides are equal length. So you could say that a square is a rectangle that is also a rhombus.
What are all of the names for a square?
A square is all of these:-- square-- rectangle-- rhombus-- parallelogram-- quadrilateral.We wouldn't say that these are different "names" for a square. They're actual thingsthat the square IS. Just as a 'woman' is also a 'female' and a 'human being', all at thesame time.
What shape is a kite?
I would say a diamond.
Can a rhombus and square ever be congruent?
Very clever question! The answer is yes, they can. A square is, in fact, a rhombus. It's a special case of one. A rhombus is a quadrilateral with four equal sides. A square fits that description except it also has four equal angles. So, if you have two identical squares, you can actually say that you have a rhombus that is congruent to a square! I hope your teacher didn't mark you wrong if you answered "no." If, however, you have two figures, one a square and the other a rhombus with one pair of obtuse angles and one pair of acute angles, then the answer is no.Rhombus:Rhombus is a quadrilateral with four equal sides.Square:Square is a quadrilateral with four equal sides and angle between the adjacent sides are 90o exactly.This implies that square is always a rhombus.But a rhombus need not be a square always.A rhombus can be a square if the angles between the adjacent sides are 90o exactly.So, a rhombus and square can be congruent if their sides are equal and the angle between the adjacent sides of a rhombus are 90o exactly.

What is a squashed square with 4 equal sides but no angles?
You meant to say "no right angles".That's a rhombus.
What is the difference between a parallegram and a rhombus?
well a parallelogram is like parallel lines when theynever meet up together just like a rhombus. A rhombus is just a square but they say it got hit by a bus, it also has obtuse angles.
Why is a rhombus always a parallelogram but a parallelogram is never a rhombus?
A rhombus is a special kind of parallelogram: one in which all sides are equal. It is not true to say that a parallelogram is never a rhombus.
Are 2 rhombus always the same?
First of all, plural for rhombus is either rhombi or rhombuses. So you don't say "two rhombus"
