Generally a parallelogram will be split into two scalene triangles by a diagonal; depending upon which diagonal, they will be acute or obtuse.
However, it is possible for the diagonal to be the same length as one of the sides, in which case it will be split into two isosceles triangles.
For the special case of the "regular" parallelogram (whereby every side is equal in length, and it is otherwise known as a Rhombus) it will generally be split into two isosceles triangles, but the diagonal could be the same length as the sides and it will be split into two equilateral triangles.

The parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus what type of triangle is ABC?
isosceles triangle
Is a parallelogram an isosceles triangle?
No - a triangle by definition has 3 sides. A parallelogram has 4.
How is the area of a triangle related to the area of a parallelogram?
If the heights and bases are the same, then the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.
What do rectangle trapezoid square triangle and the parallelogram have in common?
They are all polygons.
Is a trapezoid a type of parallelogram?
A trapezoid is not a type of parallelogram. A parallelogram is a type of trapezoid.
Is a triangle a type of parallelogram?
No
Is a parallelogram a type of triangle?
No, it is not a type of triangle as a triangle is defined as a polygon with three sides and three angles and a parallelogram has four sides and four angles.
What kind of triangle can a parallelogram be split into?
Because parallelograms include rhombuses, squares, and rectangles, any triangle would be one of those split in two. If you are thinking about a parallelogram that cannot be classified any more specifically, then it would be a scalene triangle.
The parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus what type of triangle is ABC?
isosceles triangle
The parallelogram abcd is a rhombus what type of triangle is aob?
Right Triangle
What type of triangle is triangle AOB if the parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus?
it is a right triangle because a rhombus' diagonals are perpendicular
How can a triangle fit into a parallelogram?
A parallelogram is two triangle together.
Can a triangle have the same perimeter and area as a parallelogram?
I don't know about the relation in the perimeters of a triangle and a parallelogram but if a triangle is on the same base on which the parallelogram is and the triangle is between the same parallel lines of the parallelogram, then the area of the triangle will be half the area of the parallelogram. That is, area of a triangle = 1/2 area of a parallelogram if the triangle is on the same base and between the same parallel lines.
How do you find the midpoint in a Parallelogram in a triangle?
The answer depends on how the parallelogram in the triangle is constructed.
Is a parallelogram an isosceles triangle?
No - a triangle by definition has 3 sides. A parallelogram has 4.
Why do you have to divide the area of a triangle and not a parallelogram?
you do it because the triangle is half the size of the parallelogram
Is a triangle a parallallogram?
No, a triangle is not a a parallelogram
