The opposite sides of rectangles are the same length and parallel, and the angles are all right. All four sides of a rhombus must all be the same length and parallel, but the angles need not be right.

Squares are both rectangles and rhombuses, but no other figure is both a rectangle and a rhombus. In other words, the union of the set of rhombuses with the set of rectangles is the set of squares.
