Oh, dude, a rhombus actually has 4 sides with all sides being equal in length. It does have 2 pairs of parallel sides, but it also has opposite angles that are equal, not to mention it's like a tilted square. So, yeah, it's definitely not a shape that's all about parallel sides and no perpendicular ones.

Does a rhombus have 2 sides that are perpendicular?
No
How many perpendicular lines on a rhombus?
The 2 diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular and they intersect each other at right angles
Does a rhombus have 2 pairs of parllel sides?
Yes a rhombus has 2 pairs of equal opposite parallel sides.
Can a rhombus have 2 pairs of equal sides?
a rhombus must have all 4 sides equal
What is the difference in an trapezoid and rhombus?
A rhombus has 2 pairs of parallel sides.
Does a rhombus have 2 sides that are perpendicular?
No
What has 2 sets of parallel sides and no perpendicular sides?
rhombus
What quadrilateral has perpendicular diagnols 2 pairs of equal sides?
A square and a rhombus
How many perpendicular lines does a rhombus have?
Normally, none.
If a puadrilateral is paralleogram and the diogonals are perpendicular then it must be a rectangle?
Not necessarily; a rhombus has 2 pairs of opposite sides which are parallel, like the parallelogram, and its diagonals are perpendicular. (It also has all its sides of the same length.)
How many perpendicular lines on a rhombus?
The 2 diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular and they intersect each other at right angles
What makes a rhombus a rhombus?
A rhombus have 2 pairs of parallel sides, it has equal sides, 4 sides
Does a rhombus have 1 set of parallel sides?
No, a rhombus has 2 pairs of parallel sides.
What are the characteristics of a rhombus?
#1 A rhombus is a quadrilateral. #2 A rhombuses opposite sides are parallel #3 Its opposite angles are congruent. #4 Its diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other A rhombus is a special case of a parallelogram in that all four sides are equal in length, not just the opposite sides. A square is a special case of a rhombus in that all the angles are equal (at 90°).
The diagonals of the rhombus are in the ratio 3 4 the perimeter of the rhombus is 40cm find the lengths of the sides and of the diagonals?
The length of the sides of the rhombus are 10cm, as a rhombus has equal sides. since the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular, ratio of side of rhombus to 1/2 a diagonal to 1/2 of another diagonal is 5:4:3 (pythagorean thriple), hence ratio of side of rhombus to 1 diagonal to another diagonal is 5:8:6. since 5 units = 10cm 8 units = 16cm 6 units = 12cm and there are your diagonals.
Does a rhombus have 2 pairs of parllel sides?
Yes a rhombus has 2 pairs of equal opposite parallel sides.
What is a quadrilateral with 1 pair of parallel sides?
This shape is called a rhombus. Its area can be found by averages the two "bases" (i.e. the parallel sides: (b1+b2)/2) and multiplying that average by the height of the rhombus. Remember, the height must be perpendicular to one of the bases.
