rhombus
rhombus
Noun
pl: rhombi
This term describes a specific geometric shape characterized by equilateral sides. While every square is technically a rhombus, the word is typically used to describe the diamond-shaped figure where the angles are not ninety degrees, creating a skewed appearance. In common parlance, this shape is frequently referred to as a diamond. However, in mathematical and technical contexts, rhombus is the precise term used to define the properties of the quadrilateral.
