    Solutions 

    We know that a plane figure with four straight sides and four right angles is called a rectangle. 

    A figure with 4 sides is called a Quadrilateral.

    Properties- 

    Four sides
    Also known as (edges) 

    Four vertices
    Also known as (corners)
     
     
    The interior angles add up to 360 degrees 

    A rhombus is a four-sided shape where all sides have equal length. 

    A rhombus is not typically not a rectangle but a rhombus can be a rectangle, and a rectangle can be a rhombus because every square is a rhombus. A square can be stretched to make a rectangle. 

    Therefore the answer is "Yes"

    A rectangle has two opposite sides equal.  A rhombus has all sides equal.

    A rectangle has the four angles equal to 90 degrees. A rhombus has 2 pairs of opposite angles equal.

    The diagonals of a rectangle do not cut each at 90 degrees, the diagonals of rhombus cut each at 90 degrees.
     
    A rhombus is not a rectangle.
