Are rectangles also rhombus?
Most rectangles are not rhombuses, but there is a shape that has all the properties of a rectangle and all the properties of a rhombus at the same time. It is called a square. A square is a special rectangle and a special rhombus.
Can a rectangle and a rhombus be the same?
Yes, but as a square. A square is a special kind of rectangle and also a special kind of rhombus.
Is a rhombus and a square a rectangle?
No but they are both 4 equal sided quadrilaterals.
Can a rhombus sometimes be called a rectangle?
A rhombus can be a rectangle if it is a square.
Is a rectangle that is not a square called a rhombus?
YesUsing the mathematical definitions, a rectangle can sometimes be a rhombus if it is a square. A square is both a rectangle and a rhombus.However, in everyday parlance, some people may consider that a square is not a rectangle or a rhombus.
Are all angles congruent in a quadrilateral or parallelogram or rectangle or rhombus or square?
Rectangle and square (which is a special kind of rectangle).
Can a rectangle also be a rhombus?
In general no, but in one specific special case yes. A rhombus is a quadrilateral in which all four sides are of equal length. A square is a special case of a rhombus in which all four angles are equals (to 90°). A rectangle is a quadrilateral in which all four angles are equal (to 90°) and opposite sides are equal in length A square is a special case of a rectangle in which all four sides are equal in length. Thus the only rectangle that can be a rhombus is the special case when a rectangle is a square (which is also a rhombus).
Can arectangle be a rhobus?
Yes. A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles. A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal sides. Therefore, if a rectangle has four equal sides, then it is a rhombus. If a rhombus has four right angles, it is a rectangle. In this case, the rectangle and the rhombus are a special type of parallelogram called a square.
Every Rectangle is a rhombus?
A rectangle can sometimes be a rhombus, as a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus. However, if all sides are congruent, and it has right angles, it is a square and therefore not a rectangle. So, the answer is no, although it may be argued to be yes. Wikipedia, in fact, mentions that a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus; the definition of rectangle there is a quadrilateral with four right angles, thereby not excluding the special case of a rectangular rhombus, or a square. A rhombus is not normally a square but it could be.
What are 3 special types of parallelograms?
Rhombus, Rectangle, Square
Which of these quadrilaterals have diagonals that are perpendicular to each other - rectangle rhombus square or parallelogram?
Rhombus and Square (since a square is just a "special" rhombus, with right angles)
A rectangle that is also a rhombus is called a?
Square
