A rhombus is a quadrilateral (a four-sided polygon) with several distinctive characteristics.
It is often described as a parallelogram with all four sides of equal length. In addition to having equal-length sides, a rhombus also has opposite angles that are equal.
Unlike a square, a rhombus typically does not have right angles, although it can in certain cases.
Rhombuses are used in geometry to solve problems involving symmetry, congruence, and area calculations, and they appear in various contexts in mathematics, engineering, and design due to their unique properties.
