A rhombus is a quadrilateral whose four sides all have the same length. I think you are describing a trapezoid - a figure with only one set of parallel sides.
The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is:
A = (s1 + s2) / 2 x h where s1 and s2 are the parallel sides and h is the height.
Basically this is our old "base times height" formula, but since our bases (the parallel sides) are not equal, we add them together and divide by 2 to get the average that we multiply times the height.
For your trapezoid the equation looks like this:
A = (15 + 17) x 7 /2
A = 32 x 7 /2
A = 112 cm2
A square or a rhombus
They are quadrilateral shapes whose opposite sides are parallel. In a parallelogram, one pairs of parallel sides may be of a different length to the other pair; in a rhombus all four are the same length.
A rhombus has 4 equal sides and opposite parallel sides whose opposite interior angles are equal but none of them are 90 degrees otherwise it would be a square.
A rhombus or rhombis a quadrilateral whose four sides all have the same length - wikipediaA parallellogram doesn't need to have sides of the same length. Only the parallel sides have to be equally long.So the answer is noA rhombus will always be a parallellogram though.
this would be a rhombus. rhombuses are parallelograms (four-sided shapes with opposite sides parallel) that have all equal side lengths. squares are included as rhombuses.
Yes, but that is not enough to define a rhombus.

Rhombus is a quadrilateral whose all sides are equal and its opposite sides are parallel to each other but their anger are not equal to 90°.
They are quadrilateral shapes whose opposite sides are parallel. In a parallelogram, one pairs of parallel sides may be of a different length to the other pair; in a rhombus all four are the same length.
Yes.A parallelogram is not always a rhombus. However, if a rhombus has at least two equal sides then it will be considered a parallelogram. A rhombus is also know as an quadrilateral.Yes.
A rhombus has 4 equal sides and opposite parallel sides whose opposite interior angles are equal but none of them are 90 degrees otherwise it would be a square.
A parallelogram is a 4-sided figure whose opposite sides are parallel. and opposite angles are the same. The opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel, therefore it's a parallelogram. Its sides also happen to be all the same length, which isn't required in a parallelogram, and that's why it's a special kind of parallelogram and has a special name. However, a parallelogram is NOT a rhombus!
A parallelogram. Example of parallelogram is a square, a rectangle, and a rhombus.

Find the area of a rhombus whose side is 6 cm and whose altitude is 4 cm? . Area = base * height Altitude = height. Altitude = 4 cm . A rhombus has all 4 sides equal, so the base = 6 cm . Area = base * height . Area = ____sq. cm.
If only one set of opposite sides is parallel, it is a trapezoid (UK trapezium).If both pairs of opposite sides are parallel, it is a parallelogram. A parallelogram may be a rectangle, square, rhomboid, or rhombus.
