A triangle has three sides, while a parallelogram has four.
A polygon can be any one of them.
The difference between a triangle, rectangle, pentagon, and parallelogram id the number of sides: Triangle= 3 sides Rectangle= 4 sides Pentogon= 5 sides But, a parallelogram, is a polygon that has all sides parael to one another.
Adjacent sides of a parallelogram can be of different lengths.

It is the base.
Because parallelograms include rhombuses, squares, and rectangles, any triangle would be one of those split in two. If you are thinking about a parallelogram that cannot be classified any more specifically, then it would be a scalene triangle.
A parallelogram with one right angle has four of them. The name for this figure is a rectangle.

Yes. If you drew them one on top of another, the parallelogram would be a "squashed" one that was not very high when compared to the height of the triangle. But it is eminently possible to have the two figures contain the same area and have the same base.
