Can the above parallelogram be considered a rhombus?
The definition of a rhombus is "a quadrilateral with all equal sides"
Therefore, the square in the diagram is indeed a rhombus
Thus, the correct answer is answer A.
True
Given the parallelogram:
Is this parallelogram a rhombus?
A parallelogram has opposite sides equal and parallel. A rhombus has all four sides equal AND parallel. Every rhombus is a parallelogram, but not every parallelogram is a rhombus!
Look at the diagram carefully! If all sides appear to be the same length, then it's a rhombus. In this case, the shape looks like it has equal sides, making it both a parallelogram AND a rhombus.
Yes! A square is a special type of rhombus where all sides are equal AND all angles are 90°. So every square is automatically a rhombus (and also a parallelogram).
In geometry problems, if the diagram shows equal side markings or appears to have equal sides, you can usually assume they are equal. Trust the visual clues in the diagram!
Yes! Rectangles are parallelograms with all right angles, and squares are parallelograms that are both rectangles AND rhombuses. Each has special properties!
