Study Notes
Diagonal Properties
- Diagonals of a rhombus intersect at right angles, making them perpendicular.
- Diagonals of a rectangle are not perpendicular to each other.
Angle Properties
- Opposite angles in a rhombus are equal, maintaining symmetry within the shape.
Quadrilateral Classification
- Not every quadrilateral qualifies as a parallelogram; this is a specific classification within quadrilaterals.
Relationship Between Shapes
- Every square is classified as a rhombus due to having all sides equal and diagonals that bisect each other at right angles.
- No parallelogram can be definitively labeled as a rhombus; rhombi are a subset of parallelograms.
Parallelogram and Rhombus Distinction
- Not every parallelogram is a rhombus; parallelograms can have unequal side lengths or angles.
Square Properties
- Every square is also a rectangle because it has four right angles and opposite sides that are equal.
- Every square is a type of parallelogram due to its definition of having opposite sides equal and angles that are congruent.
