is a sq always a rhombus ? cus i believe so maybe im wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean a square? Square is definitely not a rhombus, square has equal angle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. A square is always a rhombus.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A square is a rhombus AND a rectangle.

OpenStudy (nottim):

say, a rhombus is a shape with 2 sets of parallel sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By definition, a rhombus is a parallelogram that has all 4 sides equal to each other. A square meets those exact qualifications. The only thing different is that it has 4 right angles like a rectangle.

hahahaha...but |dw:1339468212991:dw| sorry for the horrible drawing, that's suppose to look like a rhombus :P

OpenStudy (nottim):

you see, a square is special type of rhombus, as is a circle is special type of oval.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i got it more than clear now thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're welcome :)

I love this simile, "you see, a square is special type of rhombus, as is a circle is special type of oval."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with equal sides A square is a quadrilateral with equal sides and equal angles (right angles) So a square is ALWAYS a rhombus, but a rhombus is not always necessarily a square.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@thechocoluver445 I know it's implied by theorems, but you might want to change quadrilateral to parallelogram.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yeah. Sorry, haven't done geometry in a while ^_^
