Are rectangles also rhombus?

Most rectangles are not rhombuses, but there is a shape that has all the properties of a rectangle and all the properties of a rhombus at the same time. It is called a square. A square is a special rectangle and a special 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).


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 always sometimes or never a rectangle?

It is not true when a rhombus does not have any right angles. Here is an example when a rhombus is a square: Here is an example when a rhombus is not a square: Squares are quadrilaterals with 4 congruent sides and 4 right angles, and they also have two sets of parallel sides.
