How is a rectangle a rhombus?
The set of rectangle includes the set of squares (a special rectangle with all equal sides), and the set of rhombus (a special rectangle with equal non parallel sides).
You are a special rectangle all your sides are equal what are you?
Square
You are a special rectangle all of your sides are equal what are you?
You are a square and proud of it!
What is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel called?
A four sided figure with parallel sides is a parallelogram. A rhombus is a special type of a parallelogram with all sides equal. A rectangle is a special form of a parallelogram with all angles equal at 90°. A square is a special form of a rectangle with all sides equal.
Why is a square a special rectangle?
Because all the sides are equal in measure
Can a rectangle also be a rhombus?
In general no, but in one specific special case yes. A rhombus is a quadrilateral in which all four sides are of equal length. A square is a special case of a rhombus in which all four angles are equals (to 90°). A rectangle is a quadrilateral in which all four angles are equal (to 90°) and opposite sides are equal in length A square is a special case of a rectangle in which all four sides are equal in length. Thus the only rectangle that can be a rhombus is the special case when a rectangle is a square (which is also a rhombus).
Is a square a rectangle and is a rectangle a square?
A square is a rectangle, but a rectangle isn't necessarily a square. A square can be thought of as a "special" rectangle, where all sides are equal. The similarity is that all rectangles have 4 angles each of 90o However a Square has 4 sides equal length while a Rectangle has 4 sides with opposite sides of equal length. The clever observer will note that the adjacent sides of a square are equal while the adjacent sides of a rectangle may or may not be equal. yes it is
Are rhombuses special parallelogram?
Yes. A parallelogram has two pairs of equal sides, but in a rhombus all the sides are equal.(similar situation: a square is a special kind of rectangle)
What special name is given to a rectangle whose length and width are the same?
If a rectangle has its length equal to its width, then all four sides are of equal length and it is a square.
What shape has four sides where opposite sides are parallel and equal in length and every angle is a right angle?
This is a rectangle, or the special case of the square (all sides equal).
Can a square also be a rectangle?
A square is a special case of a rectangle. Every square is a rectangle, but not every rectangle is a square. A square is a rectangle with four sides that are all equal in length.
A rectangle has all the properties of a quadrilateral?
A rectangle is a special kind of quadrilateral that has four right angles and opposite sides that are equal and parallel.
