How many right angles are there in a rhombus?
A rhombus normally has no right angles (at the vertices). If a rhombus has right angles (at the vertices), it is called a square. The diagonals of a rhombus meet at right angles.
When a rhombus is a square?
ALWAYSevery square is a rhombus, but every rhombus is not a square.A square must have right angles and a rhombus does not have to have those.A rhombus is a quadrilateral with equal length sides, and can have oblique angles or right angles. A square only has 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
Is every rhombus a square?
No. A rhombus, in general, has a pair of acute angles opposite one another, and a pair of obtuse angles. It is only as a special case that all four angles are right angles and so the rhombus becomes a square.So every rhombus is NOT a square but every square is a special type of rhombus.
Does a rombus have any right angles?
A Rhombus with right angles is known as a square. At least that's the way it's written in the definition. Yes, to answer your question, a rhombus can have right angles.
Why is a rhombus not a rectangle?
It can be ... if its angles are right angles. If they're not, then it's not.
