Why is a square both a rhombus and a rectangle?
A square is a rectangle. A square is a rectangle with equal sides. A rectangle Has to have 4 right angles (and only 4 corners). A Square has the same definition (4 right angles, and only 4 corners) but all the sides have to be equal. A square is not a rhombus. A rhombus is a parallelogram with equal sides. A parallelogram has to have 4 sides (2 pairs of equal sides.) The equal sides must be parallel. A rhombus has the same definition (4 sides - 2 pairs of equal sides. The equal sides must be parallel.) but all the sides have to be equal lengths.
What are the properties of rhombus and rectangle that square has?
Properties of rhombus that square has :- * All sides are equal. Properties of rectangle that square has :- *Each angle is 90 degree. *Diagonals are equal.
How is a rhombus similar to a square?
All four of the sides of a rhombus, whether it's a square or not, have the same length. However, any rhombus that's not a square doesn't have four equal angles.
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).
What would you have to change in a rhombus to make it a square?
all sides must be equal so you increase the sides
