Why must the opposite sides of a parallelogram be equal in length?
Because if they were parallel but not equal, the other two sides would not be parallel.
How many equal sides does a parralellogram have?
It has two pairs of opposite equal sides that are parallel to each other
What name is given to a shape with opposite sides being of equal length and parallel to each other?
A parallelogram is a shape with opposite sides equal in length and parallel to each other. Examples of parallelograms are: rhombus, square, rectangle, and rhomboid.
Which figures have opposite sides equal?
Any regular polygons with an even number of sides can have opposite sides equal and parallel.For quadrilaterals, if any two sides are equal and parallel, the other two sides must also be equal and parallel, and it is a parallelogram (square or rhombus). If the equal sides are not parallel, the figure is a trapezoid (UK trapezium).
What is the opposite sides are parallel?
In a rectangle, opposite sides are of equal length. So basically, the two shorter sides are the same length as each other, and the two bigger sides are equal length to each other. However, the short and long sides aren't equal.
How do you know when a shape is a rhombus?
It has 4 equal sides It has opposite parallel sides It has 2 opposite equal acute angles It has 2 opposite equal obtuse angle It has 2 diagonals that intersect each other at right angles
When two line intersect the angles opposite each other?
The angles opposite each other are called vertical angles. If you have two parallel lines cut by a transversal line, the angles will be equal.
what is the quadrilaterals at rhombus?
Rhombus is a quadrilateral whose all sides are equal and its opposite sides are parallel to each other but their anger are not equal to 90°.
Why are the opposite angles in a parellelogram equal?
Because they are angles that are subtended by pairs of sides that are parallel to each other. There are several ways of proving the angles are equal.
Is a parallelogram parallel or perpendicular?
The opposite sides are parallel to each other
What statement is true about a rhombus?
A rhombus is a 4 sided shape, all sides of equal length, opposite sides parallel and opposite angles are equal, also the diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
Does a kite always has one pair of parallel sides?
a kite does not have parallel sides . It also has 2 pair of sides which are of equal length which are adjacent to each other (not opposite each other - such a s in a parallelogram)
