If all sides are equal,and there are only 4 sides,then that would make it a square.If there are 6 sides and they are all equal,then it's a hexagon,and 8 equal sides would be an octagon,etc.The names of these shapes often have root words in them that desribe the number of corners or sides.Octagon has the root prefix of -oct,which means 8,and -hex means 6, pentagon has the root prefix of -pent,which means 5.It's actually quite easy if you think about the root prefixes.

How can you convince me that a rhombus is a parallelogram but a parallelogram is not a rhombus?
A parallelogram requires that opposite sides are parallel and of the same length; it is not a requirement that all four sides are of the same length. A rhombus requires that opposite sides are parallel and all four sides are of the same length. It is possible that a parallelogram can have all four sides of the same length; when it does it now fulfils the requirements of a rhombus, and so is a rhombus. Thus a rhombus is a type of parallelogram (all rhombuses are parallelograms), but there are parallelograms which are not rhombuses (those where there are two sides of one length (opposite and parallel) and the other two sides of a different length).
Quadrilateral with 2 sets of parellel lines?
Parallelogram. You could also call it a rhombus if all sides are the same length, but a rhombus is technically a parallelogram.
What parallelogram that has sides with same length but is not a rectangle?
A Rhombus
What is parallelogram none of the sides are the same length?
A parallelogram is a four sided quadrilateral and it has 2 same congruent sides. The top and the bottom.

How are parallelogram and a rhombus different?
All four sides of a rhombus are the same length. In a parallelogram there are two pairs of sides with equal lengths but one pair is different from the other pair.
