Every Square is a rhombus.
True or False? This one has me confused.

False. Every square is a special type of rhombus, but not all rhombuses are squares.
To understand this, let's first clarify the definitions of a square and a rhombus:
- Square: A square is a quadrilateral with all its sides of equal length and all its angles right angles (90 degrees).
- Rhombus: A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all its sides of equal length.
So, every square can be considered a rhombus because it satisfies the condition of having all its sides of equal length. However, not all rhombuses are squares because they do not necessarily have all angles equal to 90 degrees.
To summarize, all squares are rhombuses, but not all rhombuses are squares.
