- 3. rhombus is a quadrilateral whose all four sides are equal in length and opposite sides are parallel to each other. However, the angles are not equal to 90°. A rhombus with right angles would become a square. Another name for rhombus is 'diamond' as it looks similar to the diamond suit in playing cards.
- 4. is a quadrilateral with one pair of opposite parallel sides. In the trapezium, ABCD, side AB is parallel to side CD.
