No, because it is a quadrilateral and all the angles have to add up to 360 degrees and the less possible degree and angle could have would be 90 so, parallelograms can only have 2 acute and 2 obtuse angles.

If two angles of a parallelogram are acute what can you conclude about the other two angles?

If two of the angles of a parallelogram are acute, then the other two angles will be obtuse. Since a parallelogram contains two pairs of parallel sides, both of the acute angles and both of the obtuse angles respectively will measure the same.


Can a parallelogram have acute angles?

yes


Can a parellelogram contain four acute angles?

No. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral and so its internal angles must sum to 360o. An acute angle is one of less than 90o. If all 4 angles of a parallelogram are acute, they are all less than 90o and so sum to less than 4 x 90o = 360o. But they must sum to exactly 360o. Thus they cannot all be acute. For a parallelogram opposite angles are equal; so 2 are acute and 2 are obtuse (or all are right angles - 90o). Note that a rectangle is a special case of the parallelogram in which all angles are 90o.


What is the difference between a parallelogram and a rectangle?

A parallelogram has 2 equal obtuse angles and 2 equal acute angles whereas a rectangle has 4 equal 90 degree angles
