A rhombus is defined as a quadrilateral in which all four sides have equal length. A square, on the other hand, is a specific type of rhombus that has additional properties: all four angles are right angles (90 degrees), and its diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other at right angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While every square is a rhombus, the reverse is not true. A rhombus only requires the sides to be of equal length, but it does not require the angles to be 90 degrees. The angles in a rhombus can vary, typically being acute or obtuse, but they are not necessarily 90 degrees as they are in a square. Additionally, the diagonals in a rhombus are not required to be equal, whereas in a square, the diagonals are both equal in length and intersect at right angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To summarize, all squares are rhombuses because they meet the basic condition of having four equal sides. However, not all rhombuses are squares, as rhombuses can have non-right angles and unequal diagonals, which are conditions that do not hold for squares.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are all rhombus squares?
