Describe why a square is always a rhombus but a rhombus is not always a square. Your answer should be a paragraph with at least three complete sentences. @Mathematics

Answer 1

Define the properties of a rhombus.
Define the properties of a square.

Explain that the properties of a square always satisfy the properties of a rhombus.
Show that a square is only one kind of rhombus.
Show that the properties of a rhombus has properties that satisfy more than just a square

Answer 2

Wow you came up with that so fast your really smart

Answer 3

No, actually, it's just that OS is making everybody's computers slower. I just cleaned out my computer completely so it's back to normal response time.

Answer 4

one slight amendment to what @hero said. a rhombus has 4 equal sides (just like a square), but the angles between its sides are not necessarily 90 degrees.

Answer 5

huh?

Answer 6

all the angles in a square are 90 degrees

Answer 7

I am talking about the interior angles here

Answer 8

The square satisfies all the properties of a rhombus. A rhombus can have angles equal to 90 or less

Answer 9

Double-check the properties of a rhombus

Answer 10

square: all sides equal, opposite sides parallel to one another, all interior angles 90 degrees
rhombus: all sides equal, opposite sides parallel to one another, interior angles can be other than 90 degrees
