A rhombus is a quadrilateral whose all sides are the same
length. It can also be said that: If a quadrilateral whose two diagonals
are perpendicular and bisect each other, then the quadrilateral is a
rhombus.
A rhombus fulfills all the properties of a parallelogram, thus a rhombus is a
parallelogram whose four sides are the same length, so it has the following
properties:
a. every angle is bisected by its diagonals,
b. the diagonals intersect perpendicular to each other, consider the image
below.
Notice the picture above is two congruent triangles, namely ABC dan
ABD below this.
a. AC = BC = AD = BD dan AB = AB
b. CAB = DAB = CBA = DBA
c. ADB = ACB
If you notice, a rhombus fulfills all the properties of a parallelogram.
Next, to find out how the properties contained in the rhombus, try to do the
following mini-lab activities!
Perimeter and Area of a Rhombus
The area of a rhombus is half the product of the lengths of the
diagonals.
