What characteristics help you tell the difference between a rhombus and a rectangle?
Mainly the presence or absence of any right angles.
What attributes help you tell the difference between a rhombus and a rectangle?
A rhombus has 2 equal opposite acute angles and 2 equal opposite obtuse angles whereas a rectangle has 4 equal right angles.
How can you tell the difference between a parallelagram and a trapezoid?
A parallelogram has two sets of sides that are parallel to each other. A trapezoid only has one set of sides that are parallel.
How can you tell the difference between a rectangle and a rhombus?
A rectangle has parallel sides and the 4 corners are 90 degrees each and the length and width will not be the same.A rhombus has parallel sides, all of which are of the same length and the opposite corner pairs are respectively acute and obtuse (a diamond shape with sides of the same length).
How do you tell the difference between a rectangle and a rhombus?
A rectangle will always have right angles, or 90o angles, between the sides.A rhombus cannot have a 90o angle between the sides because by definition the angles must be less than or greater than 90o.A rhombus will look like a square that has been slanted, like a diamond shape on a deck of cards.A rectangle is a four-sided figure having the length of its opposite sides equal and all internal angles are 90o. A rhombus has four sides of equal length, but the interior angles are not necessarily 90o. All interior angles of a rectangular rhombus are 90°, so a rectangular rhombus is also a square.
