Which are measurements of the sides of a right triangle?

There are an infinite number of different right triangles. The only thing you can say about all of them is:(the square of the length of the shortest side) plus (the square of the length of the next shortest side)is equal to (the square of the length of the longest side)

Find the average of the two sides (Longest length plus shortest length. Divide this addition by 2). Multiply the result by its height (which is the distance between the longest side and the shortest side).

Is a rhombus the same thing as a square?

No. A square is a particular type of rhombus, but not all rhombuses are squares. A rhombus has four sides of equal length. A square also has all four sides of equal length, but in addition, all four vertices of a square are right angles (a rhombus, on the other hand, can have vertices that are not all the same angle).

When is a quadrilateral a rectangle but not a square?

When all the vertices of a plane quadrilateral are exactly equal to 90 degrees it is is called a rectangle and, if all its sides are of equal length, that rectangle is called a square. So when a plane quadrilateral has all its vertices exactly equal to 90 degrees, but it does not have all its sides equal in length, it must be a rectangle but not a square.
