If a quadrilateral is a square, then it is always a rhombus.
true or false :/
i thnk

oh ok then sorry i forgot.
isnt it false becuse the dont add to 90 degrees :/
What's the definition of a rhombus?
|dw:1366342927796:dw|
No. That's not a rhombus.
well you should no that a Rhombus is a parallelogram with opposite equal acute and obtuse angles and four equal sides
|dw:1366342982641:dw|
That's a parallelogram
BTW, your previous figure was a quadrilateral.
|dw:1366343048924:dw|
a rhombus is something like this but mine isnt so accurate.
Still a parallelogram.
All rhombuses are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rhombuses
i get what you say but when i see my picture i dont ?
You don't what?
|dw:1366343268387:dw| like this or not?
Both of these are parallelograms, only the top one is a (poorly drawn) rhombus. |dw:1366343319552:dw|
i just did that. except mine isnt good
As I asked a dozen comments ago, when figuring out which shapes are what, you have to know the definitions. WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF A RHOMBUS?
>>> "a Rhombus is a parallelogram with opposite equal acute and obtuse angles and four equal sides" NOT TRUE
As @qweqwe123123123123111 says, go back to the definitions of rhombus and square. That is the key to the answer here.
a Rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides congruent right?
thats what google said :(
@Danny_Boy left for another problem: http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/5170bff0e4b0012aba7e556b
A rectangle is a four-sided shape where every angle is a right angle (90°).
Sort of. A rhombus is a 4 sided figure with 4 EQUAL LENGTH SIDES.
" Rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides congruent right? CORRECT
Equally correct: A rhombus is a 4 sided figure with 4 EQUAL LENGTH SIDES.
Definition of Square, please?
oh ok then so a square is a plane figure with four equal straight sides and four right angles.
So are all squares rhombuses? Are all rhombuses squares?
1. yes 2. no
Correct!!! :-) Bonus: all squares and all parallelograms are quadrilaterals. :-)
haha yay i got it so its true?
@Danny_Boy missed out on this valuable lesson.
Yes, it's true. If a quadrilateral is a square, then it is a square by definition If a figure is a square, then it is always a rhombus.
haha thanks i didnt have this but it was pretty interesting lol thanks :)
No problem! I enjoyed sorting it out with you!
me too. you just helped me prepare for the star testing lol
