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.
