How many equal sides does rectangle have?
A rectangle has two pairs of equal sides. In other words, opposite sides of a rectangle are equal in length. This property distinguishes a rectangle from a square, which has all four sides equal in length.
Is a rectangle a square or a square a rectangle?
A square is rectangle with all its sides are equal in length. The rectangle has: (a) opposites sides are parallel. (b) opposite angles are equal
Is a square a rectangle and is a rectangle a square?
A square is a rectangle, but a rectangle isn't necessarily a square. A square can be thought of as a "special" rectangle, where all sides are equal. The similarity is that all rectangles have 4 angles each of 90o However a Square has 4 sides equal length while a Rectangle has 4 sides with opposite sides of equal length. The clever observer will note that the adjacent sides of a square are equal while the adjacent sides of a rectangle may or may not be equal. yes it is
Can a rectangle also be a rhombus?
In general no, but in one specific special case yes. A rhombus is a quadrilateral in which all four sides are of equal length. A square is a special case of a rhombus in which all four angles are equals (to 90°). A rectangle is a quadrilateral in which all four angles are equal (to 90°) and opposite sides are equal in length A square is a special case of a rectangle in which all four sides are equal in length. Thus the only rectangle that can be a rhombus is the special case when a rectangle is a square (which is also a rhombus).
A parallelogram with 4 right angles and with sides different in length and width?
Well, honey, that's not a parallelogram, that's a rectangle. A parallelogram can have opposite sides equal in length and opposite angles equal in measure, but not necessarily right angles. So, in this case, you're describing a rectangle, not a parallelogram. But hey, at least you're on the right track!
