In geometry and mathematics, opposing angles are called verticals. They share the same vertex, but they still are vertically opposite of one another.

Does all rhombuses have right angles?

A rhombus has no right angles. A square and a rectangle have right angles. A rhombus is a four sided figure where all sides have the same length and with parallel opposing sides similar to a square. However, while a square has only right angles, a rhombus has two opposing acute angles and two opposing obtuse angles. A rhombus, like a square and rectangle, is a parallelogram, indicating that opposing sides are parallel. A rhombus, square, rectangle and trapezoid are all called quadrilaterals, meaning four sided.


Which parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides and no right angles?

A rhombus has two opposing acute angles (less than 90º) and two opposing obtuse (greater than 90º) angles, with the opposing sides being parallel and the sides being of equal length. A parallelogram can have the two acute angles and two obtuse angles, but have sides of different lengths. That is: two opposing sides shorter than the other two opposing sides. All angles total 360º


What shape has 4 equal sides but the angles are not the same?

There is no four-sided shape (quadrilateral) with four equal sides where no angles are the same. The diagonally-opposing angles must be the same, and opposing sides must be parallel. The only quadrilateral that fits that description is a parallelogram.


What is the value of x in a quadrilateral with inner angles 5x plus 1 and 6x if the opposing angles are the same?

X=16 and 27/99


Why is a parallelogram the same as a rectangle?

A parallelogram is similar to a rectangle in that both are four-sided polygons where opposing sides are congruent and opposing angles are congruent. They differ in that a rectangle has 4, 90 degree angles whereas a parallelogram's angle can range anywhere from >0 to
