A rhombus is a four-sided shape where all sides have equal length.

The opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel and opposite angles are equal.

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.

I hope that helps.

Sir, this imply square and rhombus differs only in one thing
that square has perpendicular sides.
