What is different between a rhombus and a square?
A rhombus is a tetragon (or quadrilateral, what ever you want to call it) has two sets of parallel lines, all which are the same length. A square fits the above description, therefore, a square is a rhombus. For a two dimentional object to be square, it must fit the descriptions for the rhombus as well as have 4 right angles.
Does a rhombus ever have all 4 sides the same length?
Yes but it has no right angles
What is the difference between a rhombus and a square?
The difference is a rhombus is made up of 2 acute and 2 obtuse angles and a square is made up of 4 right angles. On a square, both of the diagonals equal each other, but on a rhombus the diagonals can equal each other, but it's possible for them to not equal each other.
Are rhombus ever rectangles?
Yes! Since rhombuses are quadrilaterals that have four congruent sides, a square can be considered as a rhombus. And since rectangles are quadrilaterals which has four 90 degree angles, a square is also a rectangle. Thus a rhombus could be a rectangle.
Are the angles of a rhombus ever equal?
Yes opposite angles are equal but not at 90 degrees.
