Two parallelograms have two sides 3 feet and 2 feet long one of the parallelograms is a rectangle and the other is not which has a bigger area and why?

The area of a parallelogram is base times perpendicular height
With the dimensions given the perpendicular height of the rectangle will be greater than the parallelogram.
Therefore the rectangle will have a greater area than the parallelogram.

Is every rectangle is a parallelogram?
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.
Do parallelograms have four congruent sides?
Not all parallelograms do but a rhombus does.
Do all parallelograms have four equal sides?
yes
All parallelograms are quadrilaterals?
Yes because they have 4 sides
Are some parallelograms are kites?
In a parallelogram the opposite sides are equal in length. In a kite two pairs of adjacent sides are equal in length.
Two parallelograms have pairs of sides that are three feet long and two feet long one of the parallelograms is a rectangle and the other is not Which has a bigger area and why?
I think they are the same length because they have equal sides and the area would not change.
Why are there a rhombus and a rectangle inside the parallelograms?
They both have congruent sides.
What is the difference of a rectangle and parallellogram?
Rectangles are parallelograms. Parallelograms are polygons that has 2 or more pairs of parallel sides.
What are properties of a rectangle?
A rectangle has four sides and four angles. A rectangle is a closed shape. All four angles of a rectangle are right angles. That is, they are 90 degrees. Opposite sides of a rectangle are the same length. Opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel. That is, if they were extended infinitely they wouldn't touch. ***Additionally, the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent (unlike other parallelograms), and they also bisect each other. While all parallelograms share the bisecting diagonals characteristic, only rectangles (and by extension squares) have congruent diagonals.***
Are all parallelograms rectangles?
No. All parallelograms are not rectangles. However, all rectangles are parallelograms. A parallelogram is a four sided figure with its opposite sides parallel to each other. A rectangle is a parallelogram whose four angles are all 90'. A square is a type of rectangle that has all four sides the same length.
The opposite sides of a parallelograms with four right angles is a?
It's a rectangle
What other name is for a rectangle?
Rectangles are quadrangles, polygons with four sides. A rectangle is a quadrangle with two long sides and two short sides, and the long sides and short sides are parallel to each other. They are parallelograms, in which opposite sides are parallel. Note: All squares are also rectangles.
Why aren't parallelograms rectangle?
Adjacent sides of a parallelogram nee not meet at right angles. In a rectangle they must.
A rectangle is a parallelogram with how many sides?
All rectangles have 4 sides. All parallelograms have 4 sides. A rectangle is a parallelogram with all 4 angles of 90°
Are all parallelogram rectangle's?
Yes. Parallelograms have two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel. Rectangles also have two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel, which makes them parallelograms.
Are all rectangles are parallelograms but not all parallelograms are rectanges true or false?
That is true. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel to one another. Special types of parallelograms include a rhombus (all four sides also congruent to each other), a rectangle (all four interior angles measure 90o), and a square (all four sides congruent and all four interior angles are right). A rectangle is a special case of a parallelogram, therefore all rectangles are by definition parallelograms but not all parallelograms are rectangles.
Is every rectangle is a parallelogram?
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.
