A rhombus MAY be a rectangle.
Explanation:
The rectangle (right angles) is really just a special form of the rhombus - not the other way around.
Rhombus Definition:
A 4-sided flat shape with straight sides where all sides have equal length.
Also opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are equal.
