What shape has 4 sides?
a square , a rectangle, a trapezoid, a parallelogram, a rhombus
Are all rombi squares?
A rhombus cannot be a square. A rectangle is an equiangular parallelogram. A rhombus is an equilateral parallelogram. A square is an equilateral and equiangular parallelogram. Thus, a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus.
Why is a square called a rectangle?
A rectangle is defined as: A quadrilateral with two sets of congruent sides. Therefore, a square is a TYPE of rectangle. Rectangles and squares belong to the set of parallelograms, so they have all properties of a parallelogram. A rectangle is an equiangular parallelogram, while a square is an equilateral and equiangular parallelogram. Thus, a square is a rectangle.
Why is a trapezoid also a parallelogram?
First of all, a trapezoid is not always a parallelogram. Did you mean the reverse: "Why is a parallelogram also a trapezoid"? If so, this depends upon your definition of a trapezoid and parallelogram. Some people define a trapezoid as a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides, and a parallelogram as a quadrilateral with exactly two pairs of parallel sides. According to these definitions, a trapezoid can *NEVER* be a parallelogram, so your question is meaningless. However, others might define a trapezoid as a quadrilateral with one *or two* pairs of parallel sides. If you use this definition, then all parallelograms are also trapezoids, much in the same manner that all squares are also rectangles.
What makes a rectangle different from a parallelogram?
All four of the angles of a rectangle (and of squares) are right angles.(Its name comes from this : rect-angle.)
What shape has 4 sides?
a square , a rectangle, a trapezoid, a parallelogram, a rhombus
Are all quadrilaterales squares?
No. A rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, parallelogram, or 4-sided figure with sides of 4 different lengths, are also quadrilaterals, but not squares.
Rectangles and squares?
A square is a rectangle and a rectangle is a parallelogram and a parrallelogram.
Are squares parrellelograms?
Since by definition a parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel lines, a rectangle is a parallelogram. Since we know that squares are rectangles, we can conclude that squares are parallelograms.
Are all rombi squares?
A rhombus cannot be a square. A rectangle is an equiangular parallelogram. A rhombus is an equilateral parallelogram. A square is an equilateral and equiangular parallelogram. Thus, a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus.
Can a parallelogram be a rectangle and a square?
the three special quadrilaterals that can be a parallelogram are a rectangle, a square, and a rhombus Actually, this is incorrect. All squares are rectangles. All rectangles are parallelograms. Therefore all squares are parallelograms. But not all parallelograms are rectangles. And not all rectangles are squares.
Is there a Quadrilateral with exactly 2 lines of symmetry?
There are 7 types of quadrilaterals: Kite, Trapezoid, Isosceles Trapezoid, Parallelogram, Rectangle, Rhombus, and Square.Quadrilaterals with 2 lines of symmetry:Rectangles (if they are not also a square)Rhombuses (if they are not also a square)Squares have 4 lines of symmetry.
How can you cover 2 centimeter squares without making a rectangle or square?
Yes with a trapezoid
Why is a square called a rectangle?

A rectangle is an equiangular parallelogram, while a square is an equilateral and equiangular parallelogram. Thus, a square is a rectangle.
What are six shapes that have four sides?
All of these are varieties of quadrilaterals. Some include: squares rectangles rhombus (diamond) trapezoid parallelogram kite isoceles trapezoid
What kind of polygon has 2 pairs of equal sides but is not a parallelogram?
A kite or a trapezoid.(Rectangles, rhombuses, and squares AREparallelograms.)
What are 3 rectangles that are not squares?
huh not sure I pretty sure a rhombus and a parallelograms maybe
