Do all sides of a parallelogram have the same length?
No. But the opposite sides do - in pairs.
How can you convince me that a rhombus is a parallelogram but a parallelogram is not a rhombus?
A parallelogram requires that opposite sides are parallel and of the same length; it is not a requirement that all four sides are of the same length. A rhombus requires that opposite sides are parallel and all four sides are of the same length. It is possible that a parallelogram can have all four sides of the same length; when it does it now fulfils the requirements of a rhombus, and so is a rhombus. Thus a rhombus is a type of parallelogram (all rhombuses are parallelograms), but there are parallelograms which are not rhombuses (those where there are two sides of one length (opposite and parallel) and the other two sides of a different length).
Does a parallelogram have all sides the same?
No. A parallelogram has opposite sides parallel.A square is a parallelogram with all sides being equal and all internal angles being 90 degrees.A rectangle is a parallelogram with all internal angles being 90 degrees. and opposite side being equal in length.A rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides equal, but internal angles are not necessarily 90 degrees.
Does a parralelogram have all the sides the same length?
No.a parallelogram has each 2 opposite sides are equal,if it has all the sides the same lenght,it is a square.
A rhombus is a parallelogram but with all sides what?
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides that are opposite each other and of the same length. A rhombus is a special case of a parallelogram where all four sides are of equal length.
What is the name of a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel?
This is called a Parallelogram. Each pair of opposite sides will then be the same length. If all four sides are the same length, and opposite sides are parallel, then it is a rhombus. NB: If all four sides are the same length then the opposite sides must be parallel.
Do parallelograms have to be squares?
No.Parallelograms have two pairs of parallel opposite sides; they do not have to be the same length.The opposite angles of a Parallelogram are equal; they do not have to be 90oA square is required to have all sides equal (opposite sites will be parallel) and all angles 90o (opposite angles are the same)Thus all squares are parallelograms, but only some parallelograms are squares.A rhombus is a parallelogram which has all sides the same length.
How are parallelogram and a rhombus different?
All four sides of a rhombus are the same length. In a parallelogram there are two pairs of sides with equal lengths but one pair is different from the other pair.
Why is a rhombus a parallelogram?
A parallelogram is a 4-sided figure whose opposite sides are parallel. and opposite angles are the same. The opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel, therefore it's a parallelogram. Its sides also happen to be all the same length, which isn't required in a parallelogram, and that's why it's a special kind of parallelogram and has a special name. However, a parallelogram is NOT a rhombus!
Why are squares and rectangles called parellelograms?
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (four sided shape) which has two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel. In a square, the opposite sides are parallel, thus a square is also a parallelogram In a rectangle, the opposite sides are parallel, thus a rectangle is also a parallelogram. A rectangle is a parallelogram in which [all] the angles are right angles. A square is a rectangle (and thus a parallelogram) in which all the sides are the same length as well as all the angles being right angles.
How is a rhombus different from a parallelogram kid answer?
A parallelogram has two pairs of [opposite] sides that are the same length but one pair can be different from the other. In a rhombus, all four sides must be the same size.
What does parallelogram?
it has all equal sides That's a special case of a parallelogram called a rhombus. A parallelogram has opposite sides equal and parallel.
