A rhombus therefore has all of the properties of a parallelogram: for example, opposite sides are parallel; adjacent angles are supplementary; the two diagonals bisect one another; any line through the midpoint bisects the area; and the sum of the squares of the sides equals the sum of the squares of the diagonals (the parallelogram law).
In geometry, a rhombohedron (also called a rhombic hexahedron [1] [2] or, inaccurately, a rhomboid [a]) is a special case of a parallelepiped in which all six faces are congruent rhombi. [3]
The golden rhombus. In geometry, a golden rhombus is a rhombus whose diagonals are in the golden ratio: [1] = = + Equivalently, it is the Varignon parallelogram formed from the edge midpoints of a golden rectangle. [1]
Girl Singing by Frans Hals, from about 1628, is an example of a painting in lozenge format. Lozenge is the term used to identify the format of a two-dimensional work of art, typically a parallelogrammatic painting on a canvas, panel, or paper support, that hangs as if from one of its corners. An example is Girl Singing by Frans Hals. [11]
The rhombus in this set has the same size as the blue rhombus in the traditional set. The dart and the 30°–60°–90° triangle have the same area, while the kite and the hexagon are twice that area. Like the traditional set, all the angles are multiples of 30°.
Therefore, the circumradius of this rhombicosidodecahedron is the common distance of these points from the origin, namely √ φ 6 +2 = √ 8φ+7 for edge length 2. For unit edge length, R must be halved, giving R = √ 8φ+7 / 2 = √ 11+4 √ 5 / 2 ≈ 2.233.

In mathematics, non-Euclidean geometry consists of two geometries based on axioms closely related to those that specify Euclidean geometry.As Euclidean geometry lies at the intersection of metric geometry and affine geometry, non-Euclidean geometry arises by either replacing the parallel postulate with an alternative, or relaxing the metric requirement.
