In
Euclidean geometry, a
rhombus(◊), plural
rhombi or
rhombuses, is a
simple (non-self-intersecting)
quadrilateral whose four sides all have the same length. Another name is
equilateral quadrilateral, since equilateral means that all of its sides are equal in length. The rhombus is often called a
diamond, after the
diamonds suit in playing cards which resembles the projection of an octahedral diamond, or a
lozenge, though the former sometimes refers specifically to a rhombus with a 60° angle (see
Polyiamond), and the latter sometimes refers specifically to a rhombus with a 45° angle.
