A rhombus is a quadrilateral (a four-sided shape) where all four sides are equal in length. Think of it like a square that's been tilted! The opposite angles of a rhombus are equal, and its diagonals bisect each other at right angles. This means they cut each other in half and form a 90-degree angle where they meet.
Understanding the properties of a rhombus is key to identifying and working with these shapes in geometry. This quiz will help you practice recognizing rhombuses and understanding their unique characteristics. Get ready to have some rhombus fun!
