Planes are not necessarily drawn as parallelograms. The Cartesian plane is drawn as a rectangle and, contrary to what the previous answerer [ignorantly] claimed, it does have a ninety degree angle where the axes meet.
The representation of a plane in 3-d space is often depicted as a parallelogram in much the same way that the drawing of a cube has parallelograms for its lateral faces. A parallelogram is a compromise between lines of perspective (which should meet at the centre of perspective) and the wish to maintain the parallel nature of these edges.

What is an example of a parallelogram?
A rectangle (opposite sides are parallel which is a parallelogram!)
Can a parallelogram have 5 sides why or why not?
No, because a parallelogram is a kind of quadrilateral - a FOUR sided plane figure.
What is the name of a 2 dimensional figure?
a 2d shape A two dimensional figure can also be called a plane figure since it can be drawn in the two dimensional plane. Some examples include the triangle, the square, the circle, the pentagon, the hexagon, the parallelogram, the rhombus, etc.
If a diagonal is drawn in a parallelogram then two congruent triangles are formed.?
Correct
What shape is drawn that has 2 pairs of equal sides but is NOT a parallelogram?
A square.
How many triangles are formed when any parallelogram and its diagonals are drawn?
how many triangles are formed when any parallelogram and it diagonals are drawn
Can lines of symmetry be drawn in a parallelogram?
Not normally
Can lines of symmetric be drawn in a parallelogram?
A parallelogram has no lines of symmetry unless it is a square, a rectangle or a rhombus.
What is true about a parallelogram?
There are many true statements which can made. One such is:"a parallelogram is a plane figure".
What is an example of a parallelogram?
A rectangle (opposite sides are parallel which is a parallelogram!)
Prove that if the diagonal of a parallelogram does not bisect the angles through the vertices to which the diagonal is drawn the parallelogram is not a rhombus?
Suppose that the parallelogram is a rhombus (a parallelogram with equal sides). If we draw the diagonals, isosceles triangles are formed (where the median is also an angle bisector and perpendicular to the base). Since the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, and the diagonals don't bisect the vertex angles where they are drawn, then the parallelogram is not a rhombus.
Can a parallelogram have 5 sides why or why not?
No, because a parallelogram is a kind of quadrilateral - a FOUR sided plane figure.

A square.
Which letter when drawn on the coordinate plane could represent a function?
The letter V represents a function when drawn on a coordinate plane.
