Question:
I need to see a net of a rhomboid. Where can I find one on the net? Is it like a square paramid with the top chopped off? Help! This has me stumped. Thanks for your quick response.

Hi Monica

The word rhomboid would seem to imply a 3D figure (like ellipsoid does) but it is not. A rhomboid is a parallelogram that is not a rhombus. Once again we see that the world of math, since it was invented by humans, is not completely consistent.
