A rhombus has 4 congruent sides. |dw:1435789294880:dw|

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Is that rhombus a square or a rectangle? Does it have right angles?

OpenStudy (study_together):

All four sided figures are rectangles, right?

Well, not all but most

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Answer: no. eliminate A and B.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Now look at C. A rectangle is a quadrilateral with 4 right angles. A square is a rectangle that has all sides congruent. |dw:1435789560567:dw|

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

D. A square has 4 congruent sides. A rhombus has 4 congruent sides. A square must have 4 right angles. A rhombus can have any kind of angles. Every square is a rhombus. Not every rhombus is a square.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So C? Or D?
