Rhombuses are paralellograms. Also, they're what you might call a diamond.

Not a particularly useful answer since a rectangle is also a parallelogram. The two differences are:
- all the sides of a rhombus are of equal length while in a rectangle opposite sides are equal but adjacent sides are usually not equal (if they are, then the shape is a square);
- all the angles of a rectangle are right angles while in a rhombus opposite angles are equal but adjacent angles are usually not equal (if they are, then the shape is a square).

Is a every rhombus a rectangle?
No. Nor is every rectangle a rhombus.
Is a rhombus and rectangle the same?
No,because 1.rhombus has got four sides equal in length and opposite sides are parallel while in rectangle the four sides need not be of equal 2.And the main difference is rhombus has no right angles.
