There are many characteristics of a rhombus. Every rhombus is a parallelogram, so it has all the characteristics of one: opposite sides are parallel, adjacent angles are supplementary, and the diagonals bisect each other. Additionally, there are two other characteristics that apply to rhombuses: the opposite angles are congruent and the diagonals are perpendicular.
they both have 4 equal sides
A rhombus and a trapezoid do not make a specific shape together. They are two separate geometric shapes with different properties and characteristics.
quadrilaterals with two pairs of parallel sides
Mainly the presence or absence of any right angles.
