Is it ever possible for the height of a parallelogram to be one of the parallelograms sides?
Yes. Starting with a square, shear it by sliding one edge parallel to the opposite edge; this creates a parallelogram with its height the length of the side of the square which is two of the sides; the other two sides will be longer.
Does a parallelogram have equal sides?
A rhombus is a parallelogram with 4 equal sides. Many parallelograms do not have 4 equal sides. All parallelograms have 2 pairs of equal opposite sides.
What is a long parallelogram?
It is important to know the different parallelograms. A long parallelogram is a parallelograms whose sides are long in length.
Are the faces of a parallelogram congruent?
Parallelograms have sides. Opposite sides are congruent.
Two parallelograms have two sides 3 feet and 2 feet long one of the parallelograms is a rectangle and the other is not which has a bigger area and why?
The area of a parallelogram is base times perpendicular height With the dimensions given the perpendicular height of the rectangle will be greater than the parallelogram. Therefore the rectangle will have a greater area than the parallelogram.
How many sides do 5 parallelograms have?
A parallelogram has four sides, so 5 parallelograms altogether have 4 * 5 = 20 sides
Can some rhombuses be parallelograms?
Some rhombuses can be parallelograms. It all depends on the direction of the sides. A diamond is a rhombus that is not a parallelogram A square is a rhombus that is a parallelogram
What is are the relationships between parallelograms?
A parallelogram has two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent. This means that opposite angles are congruent as well. All parallelograms must fit this description or else it's not a parallelogram.
What quadrilateral is not a parallelogram?
Trapezoids are not parallelograms. Trapezoids are 4 sides with 1 set of parallel sides. Parallelograms are 4 sided with opposite sides that are parallel.
Do parallelograms have diagonal sides?
A parallelogram is anything from a square to a rectangle. As long as it has parallel sides, then it is a parallelogram. If you're thinking of a rhombus, then it has diagonal sides.
Is quadrilateral a parallelogram?
Not necessarily. All parallelograms are quadrilaterals but not all quadrilaterals are parallelograms. Parallelograms are more specific instances of quadrilaterals. Its like saying all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.
What has 4 congruent sides and its opposite sides are parellel?
parallelogram. also squares. which are parallelograms
