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.
Another contributor conjectures:
In order to prove a given rhombus a square, I think
it's sufficient to show that it has one right angle.
The main difference is that a square is a geometric shape whereas a rhumbus is a word with no meaning.The main difference between a square and a rhombus is that all the angles of a square are equal. In a rhombus, there are two pairs of equal opposite angles.
All the sides of a rhombus are equal in length,as in a square.The sizes of the angles do not have to equal 90° as in a square.
A square must have 4 right angles, but a rhombus may or may not have 4 right angles.
well a parallelogram is like parallel lines when theynever meet up together just like a rhombus. A rhombus is just a square but they say it got hit by a bus, it also has obtuse angles.
All 4 sides of a rhombus must be equal, otherwise it's not a rhombus.
A square is well a square while a rhombus is a square on one of the corners (a square diamond)

A square is a rhombus that has a right angle in it.
One difference is that a square has right angles, but a rhombus only has acute and obtuse angles. A similarity is that if you tilt a square it turns into a rhombus. Another similarity is that they are both Quadrangles. Another difference is that Rhombus lines are slanted. Hoped that helped! ;0)
A rhombus is a two dimensional object, a rhomboid is 3 dimensional. The relation between the two is the same as that between a square and a cube.
A rhombus has 4 sides of equal length and may be crooked and a rectangle must have four 90 [[Q/Whats the difference between a rectangle and a rhombus#|degree]] angles. A square is both a rectangle and a rhombus.
A square has four right angles, a rhombus doesn't.
The main difference between a square and a rhombus is that a square has all its angles equal to 90 degrees and a rhombus does not. A square has 4 lines of symmetry while rhombus only has 2. The diagonal lengths of a square are of the same measure. Rhombus diagonal lengths are of different measures. They are both a quadrilateral, all sides are equal in length, and opposite sides are parallel to each other.
A rhombus has 4 sides of equal length and may be crooked and a rectangle must have four 90 degree angles. A square is both a rectangle and a rhombus.
A square is one special kind of rhombus ... the kind that has a right angle in it.
