Question

A rectangle has a length of 20 cm and a width of 15 cm. Which statement explains why the rectangle is NOT a rhombus? Question 6 options: a) A rhombus has exactly two right angles. B) A rhombus has four angles that have equal measures. C) A rhombus has four side that are the same length. D) A rhombus has exactly two sides that are paral

Answer 1

Answer:

C) A rhombus has four side that are the same length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A rectangle has a length of 20 cm and a width of 15 cm.

Length = 20 cm

Width = 15 cm

We need to explain why the rectangle is NOT a rhombus.

Now according to properties of Rhombus which are given below;

⇒All sides have equal length

⇒Opposite sides are parallel, and opposite angles are equal (it is a Parallelogram).

⇒The altitude is the distance at right angles to two sides

⇒And the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.

Since size of rectangle are length is 20 cm and width is 15 cm hence it is not a rhombus as Rhombus have all sides equal.

Hence Option C) A rhombus has four side that are the same length.
