Is it true that rhombuses are special parallelograms?

Yes, it is true that rhombuses are special types of parallelograms. A rhombus is defined as a parallelogram in which all four sides are of equal length. This means that while all rhombuses are parallelograms, not all parallelograms are rhombuses, as parallelograms can have sides of different lengths. Additionally, rhombuses have the property of having diagonals that bisect each other at right angles.


What quadrilateral with two one pair of parallel sides is a?

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral, which has 2 pair of parallel sides. Squares, rhombuses and rectangles are special cases of parallelograms.


Can a quadrilateral be a parallelogram and a rhombus?

Yes. All rhombuses are parallelograms, but the reverse is not true. (I.e. there are parallelograms which are rhombuses and there a parallelograms that are not rhombuses. -- Just like Every bus has wheels but not everything with wheels is a bus.)


What category does a parallelogram belong to?

A parallelogram belongs to the category of quadrilaterals, which are polygons with four sides. It is specifically defined as a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are both parallel and equal in length. Parallelograms include special cases such as rectangles, rhombuses, and squares, which have additional properties.


Can a quadrilaterial be a rhombus?

A rhombus is a quadrilateral by definition. A quadrilateral is a polygon with 4 sides. A rhombus is a quadrilateral where all 4 sides have equal lengths. All rhombuses are also parallelograms. If a rhombus has right angles, the it is also a square. Meaning that a square is a special type of rhombus. A rhombus is a special type of parallelogram. A parallelogram is a special type of quadrilateral.
