A rhombus is a 4 equal sided quadrilateral with 2 equal opposite acute angles and 2 equal opposite obtuse angles whereas the 4 angles add up to 360 degrees.
There is no general formula to "work out" a rhombus. It all depends on the information that you have and the information that you require.
That will depend on the lengths of the diagonals of the rhombus which are of different lengths and intersect each other at right angles but knowing the lengths of the diagonals of the rhombus it is then possible to work out its perimeter and area.
360 degrees. It cant be 180 because it would just be flipped. 180 would work for a rectangle, but not a rhombus.
The lengths of the diagonals work out as 12 cm and 16 cm
Rhombus Not a SquareIn a square, the sides are perpendicular. In a rhombus, they aren't. A rhombus is never a square.

There are no other names for a Rhombus. Its characteristics are;- The four sides are all of equal length The opposite sides are parallel The sum of the four angles is 360 degrees. There are NO right angles. Casually , it may be thought of as a 'lazy square'.
A rhombus can be anywhere.
Is a rhombus.
A square is always a rhombus, but a rhombus is notalways a square.
A square is always a rhombus, but a rhombus is notalways a square.
A rhombus that is not a square is a rhombus. A square is a special type of rhombus that has all four angles equal (to 90°).
