A rhombus is a quadrilateral with 4 congruent sides. In other words, all four sides are equal. A square is a rhombus AND it has 4 right angles. So because a square is a rhombus, this means that the square also has 4 congruent sides. So "They have all four sides equal." best compares a square and a rhombus.

and the other choices are false They have all angles unequal....false, all angles of a square are 90 degrees They have non perpendicular diagonals.... false, both have perpendicular diagonals They have non congruent parallel sides....false, all sides are equal in both
