A rhombus has two pairs of parallel sides.
A rhombus is a quadrilateral (a four-sided figure) with all four sides equal in length. By definition, a rhombus is also a parallelogram. A parallelogram, and thus a rhombus, has two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Definition of a Rhombus: A quadrilateral with all four sides of equal length.
-
Relationship to Parallelograms: A rhombus is a special type of parallelogram.
-
Parallel Sides: Since a rhombus is a parallelogram, it inherits the property of having two pairs of parallel sides.
Therefore, a rhombus always possesses two sets of parallel sides.
