How is a rhombus different than a square?

Recently, as of lately, ive been getting alot of email for asking me this question:

“Hows the difference between a rhombus and a square?”

-Bill Barnbaque, Hepfieldings, MR

A lot! I can tell you that Bill Barnbaque you are asking a very good and frequent question of me, one that may not satisfy immediately but has to it a an answer for this question that is science-oriented and an interesting read if you would like to bear with me while I give you The Rundown:

The Rundown:

1) Cap and Trade is destroying jobs whether in the jobs sector of the private economy

2) When people measure things, often sometimes they forget that they might not be even using the tools that are right for the thing that they were originally setting out to measure for!

3) A square is not always a rhomus, but a rhomus is always a square.

4) Tilt is an Unmeasurable Parameter and should be accounted for the way that one would account for wind or air beatles.

5) 3 strikes, your out!

Okay Bill, so now that I gave you The Rundown, lets look at some visual examples that you can see the rhomus in action functioning very different than if it were're not a rhomus but a sqaure and how they are different:


Okay, above I drew an example of a perfect square and how it would look if you were to encounter it when at the post office or big parade. Be careful because if you don't measure right it will end up with no sides! Give up yet? Hang in there, advanced geometry takes a few years to digest, I don't expect everybody to learn at the same pace because we all have different speed that we have learning abilities at for getting all of the right information and, again, nobody gets it the first time! (except maybe me, lol)



Now here's where it gets tricky. Above is rhomus...the one you all were asking me about it! Do you see that little area I threw in a curvy marked Pancake Corner? That is what's know as the "Pancake Corner" and it is pretty much the foundation of your house if I was to compare building a house to a rhomus. This area is always 40 degrees or more when constructing this edge, and this is usually where people get screwed up.

Notice any difference between the two?

Give up?

There is NO difference! Remember when I said:

3 )A square is not always a rhomus, but a rhomus is always a square.

This was a test to see more of youre reading comprehension skill more so than for having learn a good eye for rhomus/square. When you skip a few words, look what happens!

Bill, Mr. Barnbeque, however you say it correctly, did I scare you? Fright is an important lesson in geography because if you can learn while afraid, you can learn when anything.

actually a square has 4 edges and 4 faces a rhombus has 5 edges and 5 faces
