Question

What attributes help you tell the difference between a rhombus and a rectangle? Explain.

Answer 1

Angles and sides are the main differences! In a rectangle, all angles will be 90 degrees. In a rhombus, opposite angles will always be congruent. And, all sides in a rhombus are congruent, while in a rectangle, opposite sides are congruent. 

An easy way to think of it is that, if a rhombus and a rectangle had a baby, it would be a square! A square gets its 90 degree angles from the rectangle, and the congruent sides from the rhombus. Hope that helped! 

Answer 2

The angles will help you tell the difference. In a rectangle, all angles are 90 degrees. In a rhombus, the 2 opposite facing angles are the same and all side lengths are the same. 
Hope I helped. :P
