Answer 2

Both have four right angles.... this is false since a rhombus can have angles that are not all equal (so the angles won't be 90 degrees)

Answer 3

Both have all four sides congruent....this is false because a rectangle has a length and a width (which don't have to be equal).

Answer 4

Both have diagonals forming right angles....this is false and you can see this is false when you draw a rectangle that's very very thin (or flat). You'll see that the diagonals do NOT form right angles.

Answer 5

So by the process of elimination, the answer is Both have two pairs of opposite sides parallel.


This is also true because both a rectangle and a rhombus are a parallelogram.
