No, but all are roughly square or rectangular. The classification "parallelogram" means that there are four sides and opposite sides are parallel. Only for SQUARES and RECTANGLES are there 4 right angles (90 degrees) such that adjacent sides are perpendicular.

The other parallelograms do not have any right angles: the RHOMBUS and the RHOMBOID. The rhombus (diamond shape, tilted square) has four sides of equal length, while the rhomboid (stretched diamond) has opposite sides of equal length and parallel, but the two sets of opposite sides have different lengths, e.g. as in the faces of rhomboid parallelpipeds.

Are some parallelograms rectangles?

In fact, some are rectangles, but not all are.


Are all rectangles parallelagrams?

Yes, all rectangles are parallelograms. However, not all parallelograms are rectangles.


Are all parrellelograms rectangles?

No. Only some parallelograms are rectangles. But all rectangles are parallelograms.


Are all rhombuses also rectangles?

No. Rhombuses that are also rectangles are called squares. Rhombuses are parallelograms with 4 equal sides, while rectangles are parallelograms where all the angles are right.


Is every property of parallelograms also a property of all rectangles?

Yes. All rectangles are also parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rectangles.


Is there a rectangle that isn't a parallelogram?

No. All rectangles are parallelograms. However, not all parallelograms are rectangles.


All rectangles are parallelograms. are all parallelograms rectangles explain.?

All parallelograms are not rectangles. The angles of a parallelogram need not be right angles and so the figure need not be a rectangle.


Are there some parallelograms that are rectangles?

All rectangles are parallelograms, so yes there are some.


Can a parallelogram also be a rectangle?

Some parallelograms are rectangles; all rectangles are parallelograms.


What are rectangles squares and parallelograms called?

They are all called 4 sided quadrilaterals


Are all parallelograms and rectangles the same?

No. Rectangles are parallelograms with all right angles, while parallelograms just have 2 sets of parallel lines.


Can a parallelogram be a rectangle and a square?

the three special quadrilaterals that can be a parallelogram are a rectangle, a square, and a rhombus Actually, this is incorrect. All squares are rectangles. All rectangles are parallelograms. Therefore all squares are parallelograms. But not all parallelograms are rectangles. And not all rectangles are squares.
