RHOMBUS, RECTANGLE, AND SQUARE
RHOMBUS
A rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides
congruent.

RHOMBUS
Since a rhombus is a parallelogram, all properties
applying to a parallelogram also applies to a
rhombus

SQUARE
A square is a rectangle whose angles are all right angles.
A square is also a rhombus whose all sides are congruent
A C
B D
SQUARE
A square is a rectangle, a rhombus, and a parallelogram. This
means that all theorems applying to parallelograms, squares,
and rectangles also applies to squares.
