Table of Contents
Properties of Rhombus
- All sides of the rhombus are equal.
- The opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel.
- Opposite angles of a rhombus are equal.
- In a rhombus, diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
- Diagonals bisect the angles of a rhombus.
- The sum of two adjacent angles is equal to 180 degrees.
What objects are rhombus shaped?
Rhombus can be found in a variety of things around us, such as a kite, windows of a car, rhombus-shaped earring, the structure of a building, mirrors, and even a section of the baseball field.
What makes a rhombus very useful as a shape?
One of the two characteristics that make a rhombus unique is that its four sides are equal in length, or congruent. The other identifying property is that opposite sides are parallel.
What property makes a rhombus a parallelogram?
Conclusion:
Quadrilateral | Properties |
---|---|
Rectangle | 1) All the properties of a parallelogram. 2) Diagonals are equal. 3) Each of the angles is a right angle. |
Rhombus | 1) All the properties of a parallelogram. 2) All sides are of equal length. 3) Diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other. |
Is a rhombus a regular or irregular shape?
A rhombus meets one of the requirements: it is equilateral. But, all of a rhombus’s angles are not the same. It is not equiangular, so it is not a regular polygon.
What is the reflexive property of rhombus?
Rhombus and its Theorems
Statements | Reasons |
---|---|
3) OB = OD and OA = OC | 3) As Parallelogram is a rhombus so diagonal bisect each other. |
4) BO = OD | 4) From (3) |
5) BC = DC | 5) Properties of rhombus. |
6) OC = OC | 6) Reflexive (common side) |
