Parallelogram with Sides 5 and 7: Determine if it's a Rhombus

Question

Can the given parallelogram be considered a rhombus?

00:00 Is the parallelogram a rhombus?

00:03 In a parallelogram, opposite sides are parallel

00:12 Let's check if adjacent sides are equal in the parallelogram

00:20 The sides are not equal, therefore the parallelogram is not a rhombus

00:24 And this is the solution to the question

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.
