This document compares and contrasts squares and rhombuses. It defines a rhombus as a quadrilateral with four equal sides and explains how to find the area and perimeter of a rhombus. A square is defined as a quadrilateral with four equal sides that are also right angles. The document provides fun facts about both shapes and explains how to find the area of a square by squaring one of its sides.

1. SQUARES & RHOMBUS
THE BEST WAY ONE CAN EXPLAIN IT
TAIJAH ISHMAEL

2. ?WHAT IS A RHOMBUS?
RHOMBUS:A SIMPLE ( NON- SELF INTERSECTING )
QUADRILATERAL ALL OF WHOSE FOUR SIDES
HAVE THE SAME LENGTH. ANOTHER NAME IS
EQUILATERAL QUADRILATERAL, SINCE
EQUILATERAL MEANS THAT ALL OF ITS SIDES ARE
EQUAL.

3. !! FUN FACTS ABOUT RHOMBUS !!
• A Rhombus looks a lot like
a diamond
• The Opposite sides are
parallel and opposite
angles are equal.
• The Altitude is the distance
at right angles two sides.

4. BUT.. HOW WOULD YOU FIND THE AREA?
To Find the Area of a Rhombus??
Altitude multiplied by the sides
For Example:
Yes..Yes There is?

5. AND HOW WOULD I FIND THE PERIMETER?
To Find the Perimeter all one would need to do
Is add all the sides together then multiply by 4.
For Example:
8+8+8+8=
32
32x4=128
P= 128

6. SO, WHAT’S A SQUARE?
Square: A four sided flat
shape with Straight sides
where all sides are equal
Length and every single
angle is a right
Angle.

7. !!FUN FACTS ABOUT SQUARES!!
• A Square is a quadrilateral and a
regular polygon
• A square is also a rectangle with
equal sides and a rhombus with
right angles
• The perimeter of a square is 4
times the length of one side
• A square has 4 lines of
reflectional symmetry.

8. HOW TO FIND THE AREA OF A SQUARE..
To Find the Area of a Square all you
have to do is multiply one of the
squares sides and exponent it
To the second.
