OT:Parent advice needed:Since when is a rectangle not a square?

[Tammysue5]

Your just fine!!!! She is your one and only and when I had my one and only.... he was my whole life.. I too sweated the small stuff! Is that wrong... No Way! It just means that you love your little one! It gets easier to realize what was 'small stuff'... when we only had the one... it all seemed big to me!


Your a good mom and your daughter will be the better for it!

 

[Cyntillations]

A rhombus has 4 equal sides (uhoh - there you go - a square is also a rhombus), something a kid might call a diamond could have two pairs of adjacent sides equal, like a kite.

Are you sure a square is also a rhombus? I thought the rhombus was characterized by two sets of unequal angles and sides of equal length....

Angles are not in the defintion. A rhombus is a parallelogram with all four sides congruent.
