Understanding Rhombuses

What is a Rhombus?

A rhombus is a type of polygon that is a quadrilateral (four sides) with all sides of equal length. Key properties include:

  • Opposite angles are equal
  • Adjacent angles are supplementary
  • Diagonals bisect each other at right angles
  • Area can be calculated using base and height or diagonals
  • Special case of a parallelogram

Key Formulas

Area:

A = base × height

A = (d1 × d2) / 2 (using diagonals)

Perimeter:

P = 4 × side

Properties of Rhombuses

Geometric Properties

  • All sides are equal in length
  • Diagonals bisect each other at right angles
  • Diagonals are not necessarily equal
  • Area is independent of the angles

Mathematical Properties

  • Can be analyzed using coordinate geometry
  • Applications in trigonometry and calculus
  • Use in computer graphics for rendering shapes
