Similarities Between Rhombus and Parallelogram. Earlier we have learned what a quadrilateral is. A quadrilateral is a figure bounded by four line segments such that no three of them are parallel to each other.
A quadrilateral has four sides, four vertices, and four angles. There are different types of quadrilaterals like, square, rectangle, trapezium, kite, rhombus, parallelogram, etc.
Here let us discuss what are the similarities between rhombus and parallelogram and let us explain the difference between a parallelogram and a rhombus. What is Rhombus? Rhombus is a four-sided quadrilateral with all its four sides equal in lengths. Rhombus is also referred to as a slanting square. Opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel. The properties of square and rhombus are similar, the only distinguishing property is that square has all the angles equal to 90 0, and rhombus does not.
Some of the important properties of a rhombus are as follows. The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other and are perpendicular forms right angle. Opposite angles of the rhombus are equal and a diagonal bisects the internal angles. Adjacent sides are equal in lengths. Rhombus is also called an equilateral quadrilateral. Also called a diamond or a lozenge.
Every rhombus is a parallelogram but the vice versa is not true. Consider the below figure of a rhombus we have,.
