A square is a special case of rhombus. Here are some properties of a rhombus:
- A quadrilateral (4 sided polygon) with all four sides equal length.
- Two pairs of parallel sides (so it is also a rectangle)
- Opposite angles will equal each other. Two adjacent angles will add to 180°
- Diagonals are perpendicular
- Area can be calculated by multiplying the diagonals, then divide by 2.
In a square, all four angles are equal to 90°, so a square is also a special case of a rectangle, as well as rhombus.
