by connecting the midpoints of a reatangle u get a rhombus right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In general you get a parallelogram, which does not necessarily have to be a rhombus.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No you will get a rhombus always.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and square gives square.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh my, I was thinking of something else, I apologize. Yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A square is a rhombus though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you join the midpoints of a square the secondary figure is also a square.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, but I meant that a square is also a rhombus.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Every square is rhombus, rectangle and parallelogram.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I disagree. A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all four sides being of the same length. A square is an example of this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't mean that to be a square is to be a rhombus, I mean that a square happens to be a particular example of a rhombus.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it's always precise to use the subset instead of super-set when your conditions satisfies the subset. Say what is 2 ? It is an integer and also real but we generally say integer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why not natural then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, but it depends on the problem again we can call it whole too.

OpenStudy (waheguru):

Do i get a metal for asking a good question =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We could also call it prime, which is even more precise. I disagree that it's always better to specify the subset rather than the superset. In that case, the best classification of 2 would be "the number 2". Regardless. The question was answered, the points were made. End of thread. And sure^, why not.
