Squares and rhombuses can be congruent, but not always. If the rhombus is also a square, it is congruent to a square with the same dimensions. However, since a rhombus only demands for OPPOSITE angles to be congruent, and a square means ALL angles are 90 degrees, this is not always the case.

∙ 15y agoA rhombus is a quadrilateral in which all of the sides are of equal length, It is an equilateral quadrangle. If any angle of an equilateral quadrangle is a right angle, then all its angles are right angles. It is also a square. All squares are rhombuses. Some rhombuses are squares. A rhombus is a parallelogram with 4 congruent sides. A square is a rhombus with 4 congruent angles.
Every square is a rhombus, but every rhombus is not a square. A square must have all right angles and a rhombus does not. A rhombus is a quadrilateral which has all sides congruent. It can have oblique angles or right angles. A rhombus with right angles is a square. Other rhombi are not squares. By these definitions, all squares are rhombi, but not all rhombi are squares
All rectangles, including squares.
In a rhombus, all of the sides are congruent, so 4.
Better than that ... all four sides of a rhombus are congruent.
A rhombus, diamond, lozenge or an equilateral quadrilateral all have 4 congruent sides but are not squares.
no.
sometimes, only if all sides are congruent
No for a parallelogram to be a rhombus it would have to have consecutive sides congruent and the diagonals bisect each other. All squares are rhombuses.
The adjacent sidesof a rhombus are always congruent... that's one of the identifying factors. A rhombus has all sides congruent, opposite sides parallel, and bisecting diagonals.
They are basically the same thing however, a rhombus has the sides all congruent and the parallelogram has the opposite sides congruent. If the rhombus had angles of 90 degrees it would become a square and if a parallelogram had sides 90 degrees it would become a rectangle. All rhombuses are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rhombuses. Likewise, using the above example of squares, all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.
Rhombus, or is all the angles are right angles and you want to be more specific, squares.
A square or a rhombus. A rhombus does not have 4 congruent angles as a square does. It's always a rhombus. And, depending on the angles, it could also be a square. (This definition treats the square as a special case of the rhombus.)

Yes, a rhombus always has two pairs of congruent angles because of the fact that all of their sides are equal.
No but they are all 4 sided quadrilaterals
