Rhombus

Explanation:

A quadrilateral with all sides of the same length is rhombus.

The proof:
Given a quadrilateral #ABCD# with #AB=BC=CD=AD#.

Consider triangles #Delta ABC# and #Delta ADC#.
They are congruent by three sides. Therefore, angles #/_BAC# and #/_ACD# are congruent. Hence, #AB# #||# #CD#.

Analogously, #AD# #||# #BC#.
Therefore, #ABCD# is a parallelogram. Since all sides of this parallelogram are congruent, it's a rhombus.
