Yes connectors are the same on both sides
You can:* Add the same expression to both sides of an equation * Subtract the same expression from both sides * Multiply the same expression (must not be zero) to both sides * Divide both sides by the same expression (must not be zero)
A square and a rhombus both are quadrilaterals that have sides that are the same length.
It follows from the multiplication property of equality. Dividing both sides of an equation by the same number (not by zero, of course) is the same as multiply both sides of the equation by the number's reciprocal. For example, dividing both sides of an equation by 2 is the same as multiplying both sides by 0.5.
The basic principle is that (with some caveats for certain operations) you can apply the SAME operation to both sides of an equation. For instance, you can add the same number to both sides, divide both sides by the same number (watching out that you don't accidentally divide by zero), take the square root on both sides, etc.
