A "parallelogram" technically is a shape where opposite sides are equal and any shape with four sides is a "quadrilateral". Every square has four sides of equal length, so a square is both a parallelogram and a quadrilateral. A rhombus(or diamond shape) can have four sides of equal length and can be a parallelogram as well, so either are possibilities.
Technically it is because a rhombus is a parallelogram that has four sides of equal length in the same way that a square is technically a rectangle that has four sides of equal length.
A square is always a parallelogram b/c a parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite or facing sides of a parallelogram are of equal length and the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure. A square is always this.
A parallelogram has two sets of parallel sides. It can have four sides that are equal in length. That is why a square is also a parallelogram. You can have a parallelogram with two sets of parallel sides, all of which are equal in length, but they do not meet in right angles. It looks kind of like a lopsided or squished square, and it is called a rhombus.
It could be either of the following: * Rhombus - A parallelogram with four sides of equal length. * Square - A parallelogram with four sides of equal length and four angles of equal size (right angles).
A parallelogram whose sides are equal in length is always a rhombus. In addition, it may be a rectangle. If it's a rectangle, then it's also a square.
A parallelogram is a simple quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. A square is a parallelogram with four sides of equal length and angles of equal size (right angles).
a square
A rhombus has four equal length sides and is a parallelogram. Think of a pushed over square.
All four sides of a rhombus are the same length. A parallelogram has two pairs of equal length. This is analogous to the difference between a square and a rectangle.
A parallelogram where all sides are equal is a square.
No, that's a square. A rhombus is a parallelogram with 4 equal sides, but no right angles.
