To find the perimeter of a rhombus, just add up all the sides. Also opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are equal. Another interesting thing is that the diagonals (dashed lines in second figure) meet in the middle at a right angle.

File:Rhombus1.svg|A rhombus. Each angle marked with a black dot is a right angle. The height ''h'' is the perpendicular distance between any two non-adjacent sides, which equals the diameter of the circle inscribed. The diagonals of lengths ''p'' and ''q'' are the red dotted line segments.
