Open in App

Solution

Explanation:
Rhombus: It is a parallelogram in which all the sides are equal.
Consecutive sides: Two sides of a polygon that share a common angle.
So, if two consecutive sides of a parallelogram are equal it means it is a rhombus.
Hence, if consecutive sides of a parallelogram are equal, then it is necessarily a rhombus.
