Why some rhombuses are squares?

Best Answer

A rhombus is defined as being any parallelogram with four equal sides.

A square is one such figure and has four 90º angles. Every other rhombus will have two equal obtuse and two equal acute angles, until the figure becomes a straight line.

You can envision this by making a rhombus out of four attached popsicle sticks in a square configuration and adjusting them until they become a straight line (or nearly so, since they won't be able to completely overlap due to their thickness - a rhombus, however, is a two dimensional figure, that can overlap.
