Properties of Rectangles/Rhombi/Squares

Front

What is a rhombus?

Back

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all four sides of equal length.

Front

Is every rectangle a rhombus?

Back

No, this statement is never true. A rectangle has right angles, while a rhombus does not require right angles.

Front

Is a square a type of rhombus?

Back

Yes, a square is always a rhombus because it has all sides equal and all angles equal to 90 degrees.

Front

What is the sum of the interior angles of a rectangle?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a rectangle is 360 degrees, not 180 degrees.

Front

In a rhombus, what can be said about the diagonals?

Back

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.

Front

What is the relationship between the sides of a square and a rhombus?

Back

In a square, all sides are equal, which is also true for a rhombus.

Front

How do you find the area of a rectangle?

Back

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width (Area = length × width).

Front

What is the formula for the perimeter of a square?

Back

The perimeter of a square is calculated as P = 4 × side length.

Front

What is a key property of the angles in a rectangle?

Back

All interior angles in a rectangle are right angles (90 degrees).

Front

How do the diagonals of a rectangle behave?

Back

The diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length and bisect each other.
