No. A parallelogram by definition is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of parallel sides. A square by definition is a parallelogram with 4 congruent sides and angles (each measuring 90 degrees). So there are more finite requirements that must be fulfilled for a shape to be a square. A parallelogram doesn't have to be a square--it could be a rectangle, for instance. Or, it could be just a parallelogram--nothing more. However, a square isalways a parallelogram. :)

Name all the shapes that are parallelograms?
A rectangle, square, rhombus, and rhomboid are all parallelograms.
Can a parallelogram be a rectangle and a square?
the three special quadrilaterals that can be a parallelogram are a rectangle, a square, and a rhombus Actually, this is incorrect. All squares are rectangles. All rectangles are parallelograms. Therefore all squares are parallelograms. But not all parallelograms are rectangles. And not all rectangles are squares.
All parallelograms with four right angles are?
Rectangles, because a square can be a rectangle, but a rectangle can't be a square.
Are all trapezoids parallelograms?
No trapezoids are parallelograms, and no parallelograms are trapezoids.
Every square is a parallelogram?
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (4 sided shape) with 2 pairs of parallel sides. As a square has two pairs of sides that are parallel to each other, it must be a parallelogram just as a rectangle is. Although all squares and rectangles are parallelograms, not all parallelograms are rectangular or square.
