Definition
A rhombus is a four-sided polygon with all sides equal and opposite angles equal.
Description
Rhombuses are important in geometry for understanding properties of quadrilaterals and their relationships. They are used in various real-world applications, such as tiling and design. For example, the area of a rhombus can be calculated using the formula
A = 1/2 × d1 × d2
where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals. Understanding rhombuses helps in solving problems related to symmetry and geometric transformations.
