Properties of Rectangles and Rhombuses Review

Front

What do the diagonals of a rhombus do?

Back

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect the opposite angles.

Front

How do you find the perimeter of a rhombus if each side is 24 units?

Back

The perimeter of a rhombus is calculated as P = 4 * side length. Therefore, P = 4 * 24 = 96 units.

Front

What is a defining characteristic of a rhombus?

Back

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four congruent sides.

Front

What can be said about the opposite angles of a rhombus?

Back

In a rhombus, opposite angles are congruent.

Front

True or False: The opposite sides of a rhombus are congruent.

Back

True.

Front

What is the relationship between the diagonals of a rhombus?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for the area of a rhombus?

Back

The area of a rhombus can be calculated using the formula: Area = (d1 * d2) / 2, where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals.

Front

How does a rhombus differ from a rectangle?

Back

A rhombus has all sides of equal length, while a rectangle has opposite sides that are equal in length.

Front

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

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a rhombus is 360 degrees.

Front

Can a rhombus be a square?

Back

Yes, a square is a special type of rhombus where all angles are right angles.
