In short:  A rhombus hae four sides of equal measure and a rectangle has

four angles of equal measure.

 

A rhombus and a rectangle are both parallelograms.



A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides.  It does 

not necessarily have four interior right angles as does a rectangle.



A rectangle is a parallelogram with four interior right angles. It does 

not necessarily have four equal-length sides as does a rhombus. 



A square is the only figure which is both a rhombus and a rectangle.
