True or false: All rhombuses are rectangles.

Asked by madd

Answer (3)

False. A rhombus is a rectangle only if it has a right angle in it.
If a rhombus has a right angle, then all of its angles are right angles. In that case, it's not only a rectangle, but if you were to look at it, you would swear you were looking at a square. (A square is also a rhombus, and it's also rectangle.)

The statement is false; not all rhombuses are rectangles. A rhombus only qualifies as a rectangle if it has right angles at all four corners. Therefore, while all squares are both rhombuses and rectangles, not all rhombuses meet the criteria of a rectangle.
