### Rhombus

A rhombus is a four-sided figure with two pairs of parallel lines forming the sides. The two sets of lines are the two bases of the ‘T’ shape and the top two lines meeting. The opening of the ‘T’-shaped bottom parallel lines are facing outwards and the two corners of the upper figure at the top are on the same line.

### Shape

The rhombus is a parallelogram or trapezium with the shorter side parallel to the base and the longer side opposite.

### Parallelogram

Named after the shape of its four equal sides, the rhombus shape is a parallelogram. A parallelogram is a two-dimensional shape with four sides and four 90-degree corners.

A rhombus is a quadrilateral (plane figure, closed shape, four sides) with four equal-length sides and opposite sides parallel to each other. All rhombuses are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rhombuses. All squares are rhombuses, but not all rhombuses are squares. The opposite interior angles of rhombuses are congruent. Diagonals of a rhombus always bisect each other at right angles. (Source: tutors.com)

### Congruent

A rhombus shape is a parallelogram with a rhombus shape. It is one of the five Platonic solids, and is composed of eight faces: four acute ones and four obtuse ones. It is the only convex polyhedron whose four faces meet at vertices, forming a regular octahedron. Its 48 rhombus faces are congruent with those of the octahedron.

A square has two pairs of parallel sides, therefore it is a parallelogram; in the figure, we see that $\overline{AB}$ is parallel to $\overline{CD}$ and $\overline{AC}$ is parallel to $\overline{BD}$. A square also has 4 right angles, so therefore it is a rectangle. A square also has 4 congruent sides, therefore it is a rhombus. (Source: tasks.illustrativemathematics.org)
