  Is a square a rhombus?

  In Europe Rhombus is a quadrilateral ( look like a square) , BUT !!!.... has NO STRAIGH angles. That ‘s why they call it a diamond, as a shape of the ring stone. In any posiciaon you will put it. In America, they ( i don’t no why) can put a square with straght angles on it angle, and call it Rhombus too. Well, it is wrong. What you will name a triangle, if you will draw it base up, or to the sides? Still a triangle. Right? So, the square in any position – still a square, not a diamond, as long as it has straight angles. In America they confuse children with their pictures of diamonds in shape of square in their Math books, starting from kindergarten. Unfortunately. Read here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombus
