No. A rectangle is a parallelogram because all of its sides are parallel, but a parallelogram is not a rectangle because it does not have all right angles.

It is a true statement to say that all rectangles are parallelograms. However, the statement that all parallelograms are rectangles is false. A parallelogram is a shape where its opposite sides are parallel to each other, including squares, hexagons, octagons, etc.
