square is similar to rhombus because it has almost all properties of square except that each angle of square is 90 degree

Rhombus: 1)The sides of a rhombus are all congruent (the same length.) 2)Opposite angles of a rhombus are congruent (the same size and measure.) 3)Area: 1/2(a*b), where a and b are the length of the diagonals.
Square: 1)The sides of a square are all congruent (the same length.) 2)All angles of a square are congruent (the same size and measure.) 3)Area=x^2, where x is the length of one side.
If you skew a square to one direction, then it is a rhombus(a distorted square, where all the sides are of the same lengths but the angles are nolonger 90 degree.) Also, I second Jeff with the statement a square is always a rhombus but a rhombus is not always a square.
