Rhombus

Rhombus:

Introduction:

Rhombus is quadrilaterals with both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and all the sides are having same length. Rhombus is also called as equilateral parallelogram.
The rhombus is also called as diamond and rhomb. A square is also a rhombus, because the square is a quadrilateral with all sides equal.
All the opposite sides of the rhombus is parallel and all the opposite angles are equal.
One of the most important thing to keep in mind is the properties of a Rhombus.

• Opposite angles of the rhombus having equal measures.
• The diagonals of the rhombus intersect each other at right angles.
• Rhombus having two diagonals that are connecting opposite pairs of vertices.
• Rhombus is Symmetric along the diagonals
• Every Rhombus is parallelogram
• All the parallelograms are not a Rhombus.While studying about the Rhombus we cannot ignore to study about the area and the perimeter of the Rhombus.

The area of the Rhombus is same as the area of the parallelogram .That is the area is the multiplication of base and height.
The formula for calculate the area is,
A=b * h
The base of the rhombus is the length of one of its sides and the height is the perpendicular distance between the opposite sides. The perimeter of the rhombus is the total sum of its all the sides length. Generally the perimeter is sum of the length of the all sides. In the case of rhombus, all the sides are having equal length. So we can say that the perimeter is 4s, where s is length of the sides.
