There are two types of quadrilaterals that are formed when two congruent equilateral triangles are joined. These shapes are rhombus and parallelogram.


What pattern block shapes can be combined to make up a rhombus?

Two isosceles (or equilateral) triangles together will make a rhombus.


What quadrilateral can have a diagonal line and is made with 2 equilateral triangles?

A Rhombus. If it makes two equilateral triangles with a diagonal, the shape must have all four sides of equal length; thus it is a rhombus, possibly a square. As an equilateral triangle is made, the angle between two of the sides is 60o; which is not 90o, so it can't be a square, so it must be a rhombus.

Is a rhombus a rectangle all the time or just sometimes?

A rhombus is never a rectangle. A rhombus has four sides that are equilateral whereas with a rectangle the two sides are equilateral and the two ends are equilateral.


Can any two triangles be joined to make a rhombus?

No. A rhombus has all four sides of equal length. To split a rhombus into only 2 triangles, it must be split along a diagonal; which means that 2 of the sides of one of the triangles must be the same length as the sides of the rhombus, which being equal mean the triangles must be (at least) isosceles - scalene triangles will not work. Further, as the diagonal will be a common length to each of the triangles (the length of their third sides), it will form the base (ie the side opposite the vertex between the sides of equal length) of the isosceles triangles, and so the triangles must be to congruent isosceles triangles. If the diagonal has the same length as the side of the rhombus, then the two congruent triangles will be congruent equilateral triangles.
