Definition.
Rhombus is a parallelogram that has equal side. If the diamond angles is straight, then it is a square.
Rhombus differ in the size of side and the size of angles.

Characterizations of rhombus

Parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus if at least one of the following conditions:
1. Two consecutive sides are equal in length (it follows that all sides are the same):
АВ = ВС = СD = AD
2. If the diagonals are perpendicular:
AC┴BD
3. If the diagonals (angle bisectors) bisects an interior angles:
∠BAC = ∠CAD or ∠BDA = ∠BDC
4. If all the parallelogram heights have equal lenght:
BN = DL = BM = DK
5. If the parallelogram divided by diagonals into four equal rectangular triangles:
Δ ABO = Δ BCO = Δ CDO = Δ ADO
6. If in parallelogram can be inscribed circle.

Basic properties of rhombus

1. It has all the properties of a parallelogram
2. A diagonals are perpendicular:
AC┴BD
3. A diagonals is angle bisectors:
∠BAC = ∠CAD, ∠ABD = ∠DBC, ∠BCA = ∠ACD, ∠ADB = ∠BDC
4. The sum of the squares of the diagonals equals the sum of the squares of the sides (the parallelogram law):
AC2 + BD2 = 4AB2
5. The crosspoint of the diagonals is the center of symmetry.
6. At any rhombus can be inscribed circle.
7. The center of incircle is the diagonals crosspoint.
