You cannot circumscribe a "true rhombus". The opposite angles of a circumscribed quadrilateral must be supplementary whereas the opposite angles of a rhombus must be equal. That means a circumscribed rhombus is really a square.

Can a rhombus be a kite?
With an adequate tail, a rhombus could be a kite.
What does a rhombus have that a square does not?
Nothing. A rhombus could be a square.
How do you find the area of a circle without using pi?
You cannot get an accurate measure of the area without pi. If you are interested in an approximation, you could divide the circle up into tiny squares of some fixed area (their size would depend on how big the original circle was). Then count the number of squares where half or more is inside the circle and multiply by the area of each square. That will give you an estimate of the area of the circle. You could make an approximation with inscribed and circumscribed polygons (which are the sum of a number of isosceles triangles) and average the two areas, increasing the number of sides of the polygons to increase accuracy (that is the way the early Greek mathematicians did it). Much easier and quicker to use pi!
What other names could you give to a square?
A rhombus as it is a lopsided square
Every Rectangle is a rhombus?
A rectangle can sometimes be a rhombus, as a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus. However, if all sides are congruent, and it has right angles, it is a square and therefore not a rectangle. So, the answer is no, although it may be argued to be yes. Wikipedia, in fact, mentions that a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus; the definition of rectangle there is a quadrilateral with four right angles, thereby not excluding the special case of a rectangular rhombus, or a square. A rhombus is not normally a square but it could be.
A circle could be circumscribed about the quadrilateral?
false
A circle could be circumscribed about the quadrilateral with angle measures 120 90 90 and 60?
U would add them the answer is 360

What does a rhombus have that a square does not?
Nothing. A rhombus could be a square.
How a quadrilateral could be classified as a rhombus but not as a square?
If it's a rhombus and not a square. I fail to see the difficulty here. Every square is a rhombus, but not every rhombus is a square.
What is the shape of 3 sq ft?
It could be any shape - circle, oval, rectangle, square, triangle, rhombus, irregular, etc - as long as the area is 3 square feet.
A rhombus is an equilateral parallelogram Could you call a rhombus a square parallelogram?
No. That word is already taken. The square is a rhombus with a right angle.
Can a square always be a rhombus?
No if it is a Square the has 4 angles and 4 sides than it could not be a Rhombus
If a quadrilateral is a rhombus then could it be a square?
yes
Could you call a rhombus a square parallelogram?
No, rhombus refers to its shape, not the fact that is has four equal sides. You could call a rhombus an equilateral parallelogram by why would you want to? Also, would you then call a square a rhombic rectangle?
How many bases does a rhombus prism have?
A rhombus prism has 6 faces. Any or all of them could be considered bases.
What is the name of a polygon which could not have parallel sides?
Rhombus
