- The rhombus is a parallelogram, so its opposite sides are equal and parallel in pairs. Opposite corners of a rhombus are equal, and adjacent corners complement each other up to 180 °.
- The diagonals of the rhombus intersect at right angles and are halved at the intersection. Thus, the diagonals divide the rhombus into four right-angled triangles.
- The diagonals of a rhombus are the bisectors of its corners.
- The sum of the squares of the diagonals equals the square of the side times 4.
- The midpoints of the four sides of the diamond are the vertices of the rectangle.
- The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to the axes of its symmetry.
- Any rhombus can contain a circle whose center lies at the intersection of its diagonals.
A square is a special case of a rhombus. Sometimes a square is defined as a rhombus in which all angles are equal.
