Solution:
Given, A rhombus is a parallelogram in which __________ sides are equal.
We have to fill in the blanks to make the statement true.
In a rhombus, opposite sides are parallel and the opposite angles are equal.
All the sides of a rhombus are equal in length, and the diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
A rhombus can be defined as a special parallelogram as it fulfills the requirements of a parallelogram, i.e. a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.
A rhombus has all four sides equal just like a square. That is why it is also known as a tilted square.
