Why is a parallelogram considered a square rectangle rhombus and quadrilateral?
Shapes can be classified in many ways. These ways can be general or specific. Of the terms you mentioned, the most general is the quadrilateral. Parallelograms, squares, rectangles and rhombuses are all quadrilaterals (they have 4 sides) but quadrilaterals are not necessarily any of the others. The next classification is the parallelogram, which adds the qualification that opposite sides be parallel. Squares, rectangles and rhombuses are parallelograms, but a parallelogram does not have to be a square, rectangle or rhombus.
What classify each quadrilateral be as specific as possible?
Rhomus,rectangle and parallegram
Types of quadrilaterals?
Parallelogram -- 2 pairs of parallel sides Trapezoid -- exactly 1 pair of parallel sides Rhombus -- 4 congruent sides Rectangle -- 4 angles congruent Square -- four angles and sides congruent
A quadrilateral shape with two obtuse angles and two acute angles?
A kite, a parallelogram, many ordinary quadrilaterals with no specific names.
What is the name of a quadrilateral with no parallel lines?
A quadrilateral. (There isn't a more specific word for it.)
How are a rectangle and a parallelogram the same?
A rectangle is a parallelogram since it is a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parallel sides. A rectangle is just a specific type of parallelogram. Paralellogram = Parallel sides have equal length
Is it possible to draw a rectangle that in not a parallelogram?
Yes, a rectangle is not a parallelogram to begin with. The top side and bottom sides are longer than the sides. Rectangles ARE always parallelograms, they are just a specific type. The above answer is false. As long as the opposing sides are parallel, the shape is a parallelogram. Rectangles always have opposing sides that are parallel, since they are made from right angles. You cannot make a rectangle that is not a parallelogram. But you can make a parallelogram that is not a rectangle. If the shape is neither a parallelogram or a rectangle, than it is a quadrilateral.
What is a mathematical definition of rectangle?
A regular rectangle is a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parallel sides, the pairs of parallel sides are the same length but they are different to the other pair of parallel sides. * * * * * The above definition is not specific enough: it could apply to any parallelogram. It is also a requirement that all its interior angles are right angles.
What specific rectangle is not a square?
Quadrilateral?
What is a quadrilateral with no parallel sides and no equal sides?
In the U.S., that is a specific kind of "trapezium", which is a quadrilateral with no parallel sides.AnswerA quadrilateral with no parallel sides and no equal sides is basically just that, a quadrilateral.
Are all quadrilaterals parallelagrams?
No. A quadrilateral is simply a geometric shape with four sides. A parallelogram is a specific type of quadrilateral that has two sets of of parallel sides, such as a rectangle, square or rhombus. A quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram would be an irregular shape.
What shape has 4 sides and 2 of them are equal?
A quadrilateral. As far as I know there isn't a more specific term; a quadrilateral with two equal sides may also be, but certainly doesn't have to be, a rectangle, square, rhombus, trapezoid, and/or parallelogram.

What is a quadrilateral that is not a rectangle?
Any quadrilateral in which at least one (and therefore at least two) angles are not right angles is not a rectangle. The majority of these do not have a specific name.
What is a quaderalateral that is not a parrallellagram or a trapazoid?
A quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram or a trapezoid could bea kite,an arrowhead,a general quadrilateral with no specific name.
What classify each quadrilateral be as specific as possible?
Rhomus,rectangle and parallegram
Is a rectangle a parallelogram Why?
yes, a rectangle is a parallelogram. A parallelogram is a polygon (closed shape with straight sides) that has exactly 2 pairs of parallel sides. A rectangle is a parallelogram with 4 right angles(90o). "Rectangle" is more specific. So all rectangles are parallelogram but not all parallelograms are rectangles.
