Question from Justin, a student: Is a rhombus a square? |
Hi Justin,
A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides equal in length. A square is a quadrilateral with all sides equal in length and all interior angles right angles. Thus a rhombus is not a square unless the angles are all right angles.
A rhombus that is not a square.
A square however is a rhombus since all four of its sides are of the same length.
