               1.  Rhombus










                                What is a Rhombus?

                                Rhombus is parallelogram with the same sides long








                                                            AC is called diagonal 1 (d1) and
                                                            BD is called diagonal 2 (d2)










               Look at the picture above.

               Let's learn the properties of a rhombus !


                    1.  Has 4 sides, namely sides AB, BC, CD, DA

                    2.  All four sides are the same length, AB = BC = CD = DA


                    3.  Opposite angles are equal, A = C, B = D

                    4.  The diagonals are perpendicular to each other bisecting the same length

                    5.  Has 2 fold symmetry

                    6.  Has 2 rotational symmetries




                                                                      
                                       Area of a rhombus =  ×    ×   
                                                                                    
                                                                             
                                                                      

                                                    Around = 4 s
                                                                                                            12
