How do you find the area of a rhombus given only the side lengths?
You don't. There is not enough information. Different rhombuses with the same side lengths can have different areas, depending on the angles.
If all sides have equal lengths and angles are equal what is it called?
Equilateral? * * * * * No. Equilateral means only that the sides have equal lengths - not that the angles are also equal. A rhombus, for example is equilateral but not equiangular. The correct answer is "regular".
What is true of a rhombus that is not true of all parallelograms?
All sides of a rhombus are the same length. Of the other parallelograms, only the square has identical side lengths (it differs from a rhombus by having four right angles).
How do you find angles in a triangle using only the lengths?
By using trigonometry
How many right angles rhombus have?
A rhombus has 4 right angles just like the square * * * * * In general a rhombus has a pair of equal obtuse angles and a pair of equal acute angles. It is only in a special case that the shape has 4 right angles and then it is called a square.

What Is a rectangle Is it sometimes a rhombus?
A rectangle is a form of quadrilateral parallelogram, where all angles are of ninety (90) degrees. A rhombus is a quadrilateral parallelogram where all sides are the same length. The only time when a rhombus is a rectangle and vice versa is when both side lengths and angles are equal, i.e. when the shape is a square.
How do you find angles in a triangle using only the lengths?
By using trigonometry
Similarities and differences of a square and rhombus?
The main difference between a square and a rhombus is that a square has all its angles equal to 90 degrees and a rhombus does not. A square has 4 lines of symmetry while rhombus only has 2. The diagonal lengths of a square are of the same measure. Rhombus diagonal lengths are of different measures. They are both a quadrilateral, all sides are equal in length, and opposite sides are parallel to each other.
How much angles can fit in a rhombus?
I can have only four angles
Prove that a rhombus has congruent diagonals?
Since the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular between them, then in one forth part of the rhombus they form a right triangle where hypotenuse is the side of the rhombus, the base and the height are one half part of its diagonals. Let's take a look at this right triangle.The base and the height lengths could be congruent if and only if the angles opposite to them have a measure of 45⁰, which is impossible to a rhombus because these angles have different measures as they are one half of the two adjacent angles of the rhombus (the diagonals of a rhombus bisect the vertex angles from where they are drawn), which also have different measures (their sum is 180⁰ ).Therefore, the diagonals of a rhombus are not congruent as their one half are not (the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other).
Is every rhombus a square?
No. A rhombus, in general, has a pair of acute angles opposite one another, and a pair of obtuse angles. It is only as a special case that all four angles are right angles and so the rhombus becomes a square.So every rhombus is NOT a square but every square is a special type of rhombus.
When a rhombus is a square?
ALWAYSevery square is a rhombus, but every rhombus is not a square.A square must have right angles and a rhombus does not have to have those.A rhombus is a quadrilateral with equal length sides, and can have oblique angles or right angles. A square only has right angles. A rhombus with right angles is a square. Other rhombi are not squares.By these definitions, all squares are rhombi, but not all rhombi are squares
Is a square a a rhombus?
Yes. A square is a special type of rhombus with only right angles.
What is a rhombus with for right angles?
A square with 4 right angles and has a point of a triangle on the end of the square
