For a rhombus to be a rectangle, a quadrilateral must have 4 equal sizes. However, some rhombuses, particularly squares have perpendicular sides and they are also rectangle.
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>
Therefore, a rhombus can be a rectangle only if all the angles are 90 degree and also a rectangle can be Rhombus only if the sides of the rectangle have equal length.
A definition of a square also fits for a rectangle and Rhombus, because all the angles are 90 degree in rectangle and in rhombus, all the size has equal length.
A rectangle has four sides with flat shape and all the angle is a right angle. Since all the sides are equal, a rectangle is called equiangular quadrilateral. It is also called parallelogram due to the fact that all the lines are parallel, a parallelogram is a quadrilateral where the opposite sides are equal and parallel.
A rhombus has 4 equal straight sides with a flat shape. All the sides of a rhombus have equal length. The opposite sides are equal and parallel. The adjacent sides of a rhombus are supplementary.
Also by definition, all the sides in rhombuses are congruent and it has all the properties of a parallelogram particularly, the parallel sides, opposite angles and consecutive angles
