A rectangle has two opposite sides equal. A rhombus has all sides equal.

A rectangle has the four angles equal to 90 degrees. A rhombus has 2 pairs of opposite angles equal.

The diagonals of a rectangle do not cut each at 90 degrees, the diagonals of rhombus cut each at 90 degrees.

A rhombus is not a rectangle.

Solutions

We know that a plane figure with four straight sides and four right angles is called a rectangle.

A figure with 4 sides is called a Quadrilateral.

Properties-

Four sides
Also known as (edges)

Four vertices
Also known as (corners)


The interior angles add up to 360 degrees

A rhombus is a four-sided shape where all sides have equal length.

A rhombus is not typically not a rectangle but a rhombus can be a rectangle, and a rectangle can be a rhombus because every square is a rhombus. A square can be stretched to make a rectangle.

Therefore the answer is "Yes"
