Would the definition of a square be a quadrilateral and a parallelogram?

No. A square fits the classification of a quadrilateral and a parallelogram, but that isn't necessarily the definition. A rhombus is a quadrilateral and a parallelogram, and so are other irregular quadrilaterals. The correct definition would be a parallelogram and a quadrilateral with four right angles and all equal sides.

What type or types of quadrilateral has only rotational symmetry?
The quadrilateral would have to be a parallelogram which is not also a rectangle or a rhombus.
What is the fewest number of figures you would have to draw to display a square a rectangle a parallelogram and a trapezoid?
Two, a square and a trapezoid. A square is a rectangle and a parallelogram.
What makes a parallelogram a parallelogram?
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which each of two sets of opposite sides consists of two parallel lines (or for math purists I should say, parallel line segments).
What is a quadrilateral with 4 parallel sides?
It is not possible to have a quadrilateral with four parallel sides - this would bea series of four parallel lines that do not intersect.A quadrilateral with four sides of equal length is a rhombus, however.And a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parallel sides is a parallelogram.
What does a parallelogram with a 45 degree angle look like?
Since a parallelogram has two sets of parallel sides, a parallelogram containing a 90 degree angle would precisely resemble a square.
Which quadrilaterals have supplementary consecutive angles?
An equilateral quadrilateral which would include a square.
What is a quadrilateral where opposite angles are congruent?
A parallelogram. A square or rectangle would also technically fit this description.
What are two other names for a quadrilateral?
parallelogram and polygon * * * * * Wrong. A quadrilateral need not be a parallelogram. A kite is a quadrilateral but nobody with the slightest mathematical knowledge would call a kite a parallelogram!
What is a quadrilateral with parallel opposites sides?
A parallelogram, or a trapezium, in which only one pair is.
Why doesn't a rhombus have right angles?
It can. If it does, then it's still a rhombus, a parallelogram, and a regular quadrilateral, but most people would look at it and call it a square.
What type or types of quadrilateral has only rotational symmetry?
The quadrilateral would have to be a parallelogram which is not also a rectangle or a rhombus.
Name the four types of four sided polygons?
A polygon is a quadrilateral. So examples would be a rectangle, parallelogram, Rhombus, square, trapezoid, kite.
Are all quadrilaterals parallelagrams?
No. A quadrilateral is simply a geometric shape with four sides. A parallelogram is a specific type of quadrilateral that has two sets of of parallel sides, such as a rectangle, square or rhombus. A quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram would be an irregular shape.
What is the most side of the same length a quadrilateral can have?
All quadrilaterals have four sides, four vertices and four angles. A quadrilateral where all sides have the same length can also be called a square, a rhombus, a rectangle, and a parallelogram. * * * * * If all 4 sides are equal it is a square or a rhombus but not a rectangle or parallelogram.
What shape has parallel opposite sides but is not a rectangle?
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of opposite sides.Other than a rectangle (or a square), this would be a rhombus or diamond shape.A quadrilateral with only one set of parallel sides is a trapezoid (trapezium in the UK).
Is a rhombus a regular parallelogram?
No. In a regular polygon, all sides and all angles are equal. A rhombus has four equal sides but the angles don't have to be equal, so in general a rhombus is not a regular quadrilateral or a regular parallelogram. If the rhombus happens to have four equal angles, then it is a square, which would be a regular parallelogram.
Would a square be a parallelogram?
yes
