Do rhombuses have only one pair of sides of the same length?
A rhombus has 4 sides of equal lengths
Are parallelograms rhombuses?
Some parallelograms are rhombuses, but all rhombuses are parallelograms. A parallelogram is a rhombus if and only if all of it's sides are the same length.
Do all rhombuses have only 1 equal set of sides?
yes
No rhombuses are trapezoids?
Yes that is correct because a rhombus has 2 pairs of parallel sides whereas a trapezoid has only 1 pair of parallel sides
What type of quadrilateral has two pairs of parallel sides?
It would have to be a rhombus. A trapezoid ONLY has one pair of of parallel sides.Rectangles, squares and rhombuses are special cases of parallelograms:Rectangle = a parallelogram with two pairs of equal sides and all angles 90oSquare = a parallelogram with all sides equal in length and all angles 90oRhombus = a parallelogram with all sides equal in length, but all angles not (necessarily) 90o

Are parallelograms rhombuses?
Some parallelograms are rhombuses, but all rhombuses are parallelograms. A parallelogram is a rhombus if and only if all of it's sides are the same length.
What is the difference between rhombuses and parallelograms?
For parallelograms, the lengths of each side in one pair of opposite sides don't have to be equal to the lengths of each side in the other pair, so, even though two sides are always equal in length, all 4 sides are only sometimes equal in length (as with a square). A rhombus always has all 4 sides equal in length. A rhombus (like a square or a diamond) is a parallelogram, but not all parallelograms are rhombuses.
Do all rhombuses have only 1 equal set of sides?
yes
Are all sided shapes parallelograms?
No. Parallelograms have only 4 sides with 2 sets of parallel sides: they include squares, rectangles, and rhombuses (rhombi, diamond shapes). Because opposite angles are equal, each pair of parallel sides is equal in length. (For squares and "equilateral rhombi" all four sides are equal in length.)
No rhombuses are trapezoids?
Yes that is correct because a rhombus has 2 pairs of parallel sides whereas a trapezoid has only 1 pair of parallel sides

How are rectangles and rhombuses different?
Squares and Rhombuses are different because a square needs to have 4 right angles and all 4 sides the same length.But a Rhombus only needs to have all 4 sides the same length.
Are all rhombuses parellelograms?
All rhombuses are parallelograms because to be a parallelogram you only have to have four sides and have opposite sides congruent.
is a parallelogram with 4 eaqual sides?
The correct answer is a rhombus. A square has equal sides and equal angles, but a parallelogram does not intrinsically need to have equal angles. All squares are rhombuses, but not all rhombuses are squares.
Can you draw a rhombus and a square that are congruent?
Yes. A rhombus is a "squashed" square in that every side is equal in length but only opposite angles are equal. The square is a special case of a rhombus where not only are opposite angles equal, but all 4 angles are equal. All squares are rhombuses but not all rhombuses are squares.
All kites are rhombuses?
No because a rhombus has 4 equal sides whereas a kite has only 2 equal sides but they are both quadrilateral polygons.
