What Is a rectangle Is it sometimes a rhombus?
A rectangle is a form of quadrilateral parallelogram, where all angles are of ninety (90) degrees. A rhombus is a quadrilateral parallelogram where all sides are the same length. The only time when a rhombus is a rectangle and vice versa is when both side lengths and angles are equal, i.e. when the shape is a square.
What are the names of all the parallelograms?
Rhombus, square, and rectangle.
What are some quadrilaterals which are not square?
A rectangle, a rhombus, a kite, a trapezoid and a parallelogram are all examples of quadrilaterals which are not square.
Are all squares rhombuses?
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
What is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel called?
A four sided figure with parallel sides is a parallelogram. A rhombus is a special type of a parallelogram with all sides equal. A rectangle is a special form of a parallelogram with all angles equal at 90°. A square is a special form of a rectangle with all sides equal.
What are all the names you can use rectangle?
parallelogram hope i help you :) Well, I think it is a parallelogram, square, rhombus. That is all I know :P
Are all rombi squares?
A rhombus cannot be a square. A rectangle is an equiangular parallelogram. A rhombus is an equilateral parallelogram. A square is an equilateral and equiangular parallelogram. Thus, a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus.
What is a parallelogram with all sides the same length but not a rectangle?
It is a rhombus
How are a rectangle and parallelogram alike and different?
All rectangles are parallelograms but a rhombus for example, is a parallelogram but not a rectangle.
What are the similarities of a rhombus and a parallelogram?
They are just different names for the same shape. * * * * * Actually, they are not. A rhombus is a parallelogram with all its sides of the same length. It is, therefore a special kind of parallelogram. (Just like a square is a special kind of rectangle). So all properties of a parallelogram apply to a rhombus.
Is a rhombus like a parallelogram?
It is a special type of parallelogram, because all the sides are the same length. Rhombus is to parallelogram as square is to rectangle.
What is a parallelogram that is not a rhombus or rectangle?
The rhombus (all four sides equal length) and rectangle (all four angles 90°) are both special cases of parallelogram. (2 pairs of parallel sides). There are many cases of parallelogram which are not either rhombus or rectangle. If a parallelogram has one pair of sides = 3, and the other pair of sides = 5, and none of the angles are 90°, then it is neither rhombus or rectangle.
A parallelogram with all sides the same lenth but not a rectangle?
A rhombus
Are all rhombuses are square?
yes. Quadrilateral: a 4 sided figure Parallelogram: a quadrilateral with all sides parallel Rectangle: a parallelogram with 4 right angles Rhombus: a parallelogram with all sides equal Square: a rectangle and rhombus
Is a square a rectangle a rhombus a parallelogram or a trapezoid?
A square is a rectangle (whose sides are all equal), or a rhombus (whose angles are all equal).
How is a parallelogram different from a rhombus?
Technically, a rhombus is a parallelogram, but a parallelogram is not always a rhombus. A parallelogram is any four-sided shape with two sets of parallel lines. A rhombus is a parallelogram with all equivalent side lengths. So, a rhombus is a more specific parallelogram. (And so is a a square or a rectangle.)
