Use the sketch below to investigate the properties of a rhombus. Change the size of the rhombus to see if the properties hold true. Pay special attention to the sides, angles formed by the diagonals and the way the diagonals intersect the angles.
1. Do you think a rhombus possesses all of the properties that a parallelogram does?
2. Do you think a rhombus possesses all of the properties of a rectangle?
3. What is special about the diagonals of a rhombus? (There are 2 special properties)
What is special about the sides of a rhombus?
