A lozenge is an equilateral parallelogram whose acute angles are . Sometimes, the restriction to
is dropped, and it is required only that two opposite
angles are acute and the
other two obtuse. The term rhombus
is commonly used for an arbitrary equilateral parallelogram.
The following formulas apply to the lozenge. Its area for side
