A rectangle has parellel lines, like a rhombus, but a rectangle has 4 90 degree angles, while a rhombus doesn't

A rhombus has four equal sides and does not have four 90 degree angles / sides that are perpendicular to each other. However, a rectangle does have four 90 degree angles with sides that are perpendicular.Another characteristic; a rhombus has four equal sides, while a rectangle has two pairs of congruent sides.
