Well they both have four sides. Both are plane shapes (flat; in two dimensions). Both have four equal sides. All that is different is that a rhombus doesn't have to have four equal angles in its corners (even though it can, in which case, that rhombus is also a square).

How are a square and a rhombus alike and different?

A square and a rhombus both have equal side lengths, however a square has four 90 degree angles. A rhombus can have differing angles. They don't have to be all 90.They both have four sides and all four sides are the same size. While all four corners of a square are right angles, this does not have to be true for a rhombus.
