Question

what do rhombus and rectangles have in common?and how are they different from each other?

Answer 1

rhombus and rectangles are both special cases of parallelogram

Answer 2

based on what caozeyuan is saying, we can place "both are parallelograms" in the intersecting or overlapping portion (denoted as "A")



A: both are parallelograms

Answer 3

for difference, the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other, while the sides are NOT NECESSARILY perpendicular. rectangle is the opposite. The intersection of them is the square

Answer 4

what else do they have in common jasmine1123?

Answer 5

@jim_thompson5910 are they quadrilaterals

Answer 6

good, that's another similarity




C1: both are parallelograms
C2: both are quadrilaterals

Answer 7

a rhombus has diagonals that are perpendicular

a rectangle has adjacent sides that are perpendicular

so...




A1: has diagonals that are perpendicular

C1: both are parallelograms
C2: both are quadrilaterals


B1: has adjacent sides that are perpendicular

Answer 8

see how I'm filling this out?

Answer 9

A1, A2, A3, ... etc refers to things that only go in the "rhombus" section (and not in the rectangle section)

B1, B2, B3, ... etc refers to things that only go in the "rectangle" section (and not in the rhombus section)

C1, C2, C3, ... is for the overlapping section

Answer 10

ok great

Answer 11

so what's another thing you could add?

Answer 12

a rhombus is a four sided shape where all sides have equal length

Answer 13

good, whereas a rectangle has 4 right angles

Answer 14

A1: has diagonals that are perpendicular
A2: all four sides are congruent

C1: both are parallelograms
C2: both are quadrilaterals


B1: has adjacent sides that are perpendicular
B2: all four angles are congruent (all angles are equal to 90 degrees)

Answer 15

you could go on and on really, but this pretty much covers the basics

Answer 16

@jim_thompson5910 thanks for helping me out :)
