Properties of a Rhombus
Properties of a rhombus are similar to those of a parallelogram:
- All the sides of a rhombus are equal to each other.
- Opposite Sides are parallel to each other.
- Opposite angles of a rhombus are equal.
- The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other.
- The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other.
- The area of a rhombus can be calculated using the formula A = 1/2(d1×d2), (where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals.)
Note: Rhombus is a parallelogram with all side equal, but parallelogram is not rhombus.
Types of Quadrilaterals and Their Properties
A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides, four vertices, and four angles. There are several types of quadrilaterals, each with its own properties and characteristics. All different types of quadrilaterals have very distinct shapes and properties which help us identify these quadrilaterals.
As we know, quadrilaterals are polygons with four sides, four interior angles, and four vertices. With its unique sets of properties and characteristics, there can be various quadrilaterals such as square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus, trapezium, and kite.
Understanding these different types of quadrilaterals helps us understand the fundamentals of geometry and also helps us deal with further advanced topics in mathematics such as trigonometry and calculus.
In this article, we will explore the different types of quadrilaterals, Properties of Different Types of Quadrilaterals, and how they differ from one another.
