Yes. A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles. A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal sides. Therefore, if a rectangle has four equal sides, then it is a rhombus. If a rhombus has four right angles, it is a rectangle. In this case, the rectangle and the rhombus are a special type of parallelogram called a square.
A diamond, like the one seen in playing cards is often a rhombus although in some cases the sides are slightly curved (inwards). A diamond, as in a lump of carbon, is not a rhombus.
Let the other diagonal be x:- If: 0.5*x*12 = 54 Then: x = 54/6 => 9 The rhombus will consist of 4 right angles: base 4.5 cm and height 6 cm Using Pythagoras: hypotenuses = 7.5 cm Therefore perimeter: 4*7.5 = 30 cm
