Name the best classification for a parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals?
The best classification for a parallelogram that has perpendicular diagonals is a rhombus. A rhombus has four sides that are congruent. The also diagonals bisect the vertex angles of this type of parallelogram.
What is the shape that has the same formula for area as a parallelogram?
A rectangle and a parallelogram have the same formula for area:The area of a parallelogram is given:area = length × widthwhere:length is the length of one of the sides of the parallelogram; andwidth is the perpendicular distance between the side chosen for the length and its parallel side.In the formula for the area of a rectangle, the width (perpendicular distance between the sides given for the length) is also the length of the other two sides.
Is a pentagon is also a parallelogram?
No because a pentagon has 5 sides whereas a parallelogram has only 4 sides
What are parallelogram quadrilaterals with equal sides called?
A parallelogram with equal sides is always a rhombus, and it may also be a square.
Do all squares have two parallel sides?
All squares have TWO SETS of opposite, parallel sides. A square is a parallelogram with 4 equal sides and 4 equal angles (right angles) of which adjacent sides are perpendicular. The related parallelogram, the rhombus, or "diamond" shape, also has 4 equal sides, but no right angles, where opposite angles are equal and adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to 180 degrees).
What is the names for parallelogram that also has perpendicular sides?
Square and rectangle.
Is a parallelogram's diagonals perpendicular?
If the parallelogram happens to also be a rhombus (i.e. has all sides equal in length) then yes, otherwise no.
Name the best classification for a parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals?
The best classification for a parallelogram that has perpendicular diagonals is a rhombus. A rhombus has four sides that are congruent. The also diagonals bisect the vertex angles of this type of parallelogram.
Does a rhombus have parallel sides?
Yes. A rhombus has parallel sides. All sides are also congruent, and the diagonals are perpendicular to each other. The rhombus is a special kind of parallelogram, so in addition to all the propeties of a parallelogram, it also has a few properties of its own.
If a puadrilateral is paralleogram and the diogonals are perpendicular then it must be a rectangle?
Not necessarily; a rhombus has 2 pairs of opposite sides which are parallel, like the parallelogram, and its diagonals are perpendicular. (It also has all its sides of the same length.)
What is the shape that has the same formula for area as a parallelogram?
A rectangle and a parallelogram have the same formula for area:The area of a parallelogram is given:area = length × widthwhere:length is the length of one of the sides of the parallelogram; andwidth is the perpendicular distance between the side chosen for the length and its parallel side.In the formula for the area of a rectangle, the width (perpendicular distance between the sides given for the length) is also the length of the other two sides.
What shape has diagonals that are perpendicular?
The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular. A rhombus is a special kind of parallelogram. It has the characteristics of a parallelogram (both pairs of opposite sides parallel, opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, diagonals bisect each other.) It also has special characteristics. It has four congruent sides. So it looks like a lopsided or squished square. Its diagonals are perpendicular. Another property: each diagonal bisects two angles of the rhombus.
How many sides does a paralelogram have?
a parallelogram has 4 sides, it can also be called a quadrilateral.
Does a parallelogram have perpendicular diagonals?
No, not necessarily. It would have to also be a square or a kite in order to have perpendicular diagonals.
What shape has 4 sides. all sides are congurent. opposite sides are parallel. opposite sides are congruent. no angles are right sides.?
A rhombus (4 congruent sides, diagonals perpendicular)that is not also a square (no right angles), andis also a parallelogram (opposite sides parallel and congruent, opposite angles congruent). It is also a quadrilateral, which has 4 sides.
Is a pentagon is also a parallelogram?
No because a pentagon has 5 sides whereas a parallelogram has only 4 sides
Why would the formula of area of a parallelogram be similar to a rectangle?
Because the area of a parallelogram is length times perpendicular height and the area of a rectangle is also length times perpendicular height
