Is rectangle a rhombus?
yes * * * * * Not true. A rectangle has two pairs of sides which are of DIFFERENT length. All sides of a rhombus are the same length. Therefore, a rectangle is NOT a rhombus.
Is a rhombus a parallelogram and why?
Technically it is because a rhombus is a parallelogram that has four sides of equal length in the same way that a square is technically a rectangle that has four sides of equal length.
What polygons always have congruent diagonals?
Regular polygons. A square and rectangle will have congruent (equal length) diagonals.
Whats the difference between a rectangle and a rhombus?
A rhombus has 4 sides of equal length and may be crooked and a rectangle must have four 90 degree angles. A square is both a rectangle and a rhombus.
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).
