A rhombus has four sides of equal length, and opposite angles are equal.
A rhombus with right angles is a square.
A rhombus without right angles is ...a rhombus!
# So the shape of a rhombus can be square. Some kites are square. # or a rhombus can be 'diamond' shaped, like the diamond on a suite of playing cards. Some kites are diamond shaped.
But some kites are shaped like a box (a box kite, for example!), and some kites are shaped like dragons! A rhombus does not look like a box, nor like a dragon!
