What is the difference?
- 1Angles: Rhombus has right angles, while lozenge has acute angles.
- 2Symmetry: Rhombus has two pairs of parallel sides, while lozenge has only one pair of parallel sides.
- 3Usage: Rhombus is more commonly used in geometry or mathematics, while lozenge is more commonly used in medicine or design.
- 4Connotation: Rhombus is neutral in connotation, while lozenge is often associated with medicine or candy.
Remember this!
Rhombus and lozenge are both diamond-shaped figures or objects with four sides. However, the difference between them lies in their angles, symmetry, usage, connotation, and etymology. A rhombus has right angles, two pairs of parallel sides, and is commonly used in geometry or mathematics. On the other hand, a lozenge has acute angles, one pair of parallel sides, and is commonly used in medicine or design.
