Definition of a square:
A 4-sided flat shape with straight sides where:
• all sides have equal length, and
• every interior angle is a right angle (90°)
A square has all these features of a rhombus:
- A 4-sided flat shape with straight sides
- All sides have equal length
- every interior angle is a right angle (90°) therefore opposite angles are equal
- every interior angle is a right angle (90°) therefore opposite sides are parallel
Therefore, every square is a rhombus.
