Rhomboids. Properties and characteristics

Overview
Important

A rhomboid is a parallelogram in which adjacent sides are of unequal lengths and angles are not right angles. That is, it is a parallelogram that is neither a rectangle nor a rhombus.

Important properties

  • Opposite sides are equal and parallel.

  • Opposite angles are equal.

  • The diagonals bisect each other but are not equal in length.

  • The sum of the angles at any two adjacent vertices is 180 degrees.

  • No sides are perpendicular, and no two adjacent sides are equal.
