Best Answer

A rhombus can be defined in 2 ways:

# A quadrilateral with four equal sides, or # A qyuadrilateral with 4 equal sides but no right angles.

Both definitions are used. If the definition used is the first of these then a square is a special case of a rhombus. But if it is the second definition then it is not.
