A rectangle - has four right-angles at the corners. A Parallelogram - has no right-angles, but has opposite angles equal. Technically - a rectangle is a parallelogram, but a parallelogram can never be a rectangle.
Clarification - Actually, all rectangles are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rectangles. The definition of a parallelogram is that of a four-sided shape where the opposite sides are parallel. There is no angle-size limitation in the definition. Squares, rectangles and rhombuses are all parallelograms.

Is a parrallelogram a rectangle?
Yes, a rectangle is a special case of a parallelogram, where each of the 4 angles = 90°
How is a parallelogram a rectangle?

Is th paralleloram a rhombus or a Rectangle?
I hope you know the definition of the parallelogram. i.e.,In geometry, a parallelogram is a quadrilateralwith two sets of parallel sides.so naturally rhombus and rectangle are special case of parallelogram. That means every rhombus is parallelogram similarly every rectangle is a parallelogram. But converse need not be true.So parallelogram not necessarily a rhombus or a rectangle.GMG.
Why do the parallelogram and the rectangle have the same area?

What is the difference between a rectangle and a parallelogram?
