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 (which some authors call a calisson after the French sweet [1] —also see Polyiamond), and the latter sometimes ...
A lozenge (/ ˈ l ɒ z ɪ n dʒ / [1] LOZ-inj; symbol: ), often referred to as a diamond, is a form of rhombus.The definition of lozenge is not strictly fixed, and the word is sometimes used simply as a synonym (from Old French losenge) for rhombus.
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]
In geometry, a bicone or dicone (from Latin: bi-, and Greek: di-, both meaning "two") is the three-dimensional surface of revolution of a rhombus around one of its axes of symmetry. Equivalently, a bicone is the surface created by joining two congruent, right, circular cones at their bases.
Rhombic may refer to: . Rhombus, a quadrilateral whose four sides all have the same length (often called a diamond); Rhombic antenna, a broadband directional antenna most commonly used on shortwave frequencies
When more than one type of rhombus is allowed, additional tilings are possible, including some that are topologically equivalent to the rhombille tiling but with lower symmetry. Tilings combinatorially equivalent to the rhombille tiling can also be realized by parallelograms, and interpreted as axonometric projections of three dimensional cubic ...
rhombus In Euclidean plane geometry , a rectangle is a rectilinear convex polygon or a quadrilateral with four right angles . It can also be defined as: an equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of its angles are equal (360°/4 = 90°); or a parallelogram containing a right angle.
A cube is a special case of a trigonal trapezohedron, since a square is a special case of a rhombus.. A gyroelongated triangular bipyramid constructed with equilateral triangles can also be seen as a trigonal trapezohedron when its coplanar triangles are merged into rhombi.
