Can the given parallelogram be considered a rhombus?
The definition of a rhombus is "a parallelogram with equal sides"
In the parallelogram shown in the drawing, the adjacent sides are clearly not equal in length,
Therefore the parallelogram shown in the drawing cannot be considered a rhombus.
Therefore the correct answer is answer B.
No
Given the parallelogram:
Is this parallelogram a rhombus?
A parallelogram has opposite sides that are parallel and equal. A rhombus is a special parallelogram where all four sides are equal length!
No, never! For a shape to be a rhombus, all sides must be the same length. Since 5 ≠ 7, this parallelogram cannot be a rhombus.
Then it would be a rhombus! When all four sides of a parallelogram are equal, it automatically becomes a rhombus.
Yes! Rectangles are parallelograms with four right angles, and squares are parallelograms that are both rectangles AND rhombuses (equal sides + right angles).
Think "Rhombus = Parallel + Equal" - it has the parallel sides of a parallelogram plus all sides are equal length!
