Can a rhombus be a parallelogram?
All rhombuses are paralleleograms. Rhombuses are parallelograms in which all four sides are the same length (and the opposite angles are congruent). Squares are rhombuses in which all four angles are right.
Do all rectangles have four congruent sides?
No, only those rectangles that are squares have four congruent sides.
Why is a parallelogram is not necessarily a rhombus?
The definition of a parallelogram is that it has four sides, the opposite sides are congruent and parallel, and opposite angles are congruent. This includes rectangles, squares, rhombuses, etc.The definition of a rhombus states that it is a parallelogram, but more specifically that all sides are congruent.So a rhombus is a parallelogram, but not all parallelograms are rhombuses.
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.***
What is a four-sided polygon with opposite sides parallel and congruent and four right angles?
A rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel and congruent and four right angles. If all four sides are congruent, it is a square.
Do parallelograms have four congruent sides?
Not all parallelograms do but a rhombus does.
Are angles and sides of a parallelogram congruent?
In all parallelograms, opposite angles and opposite sides are congruent. If all four sides are congruent, it's a rhombus. If all four angles are congruent, it's a rectangle. If all four sides and all four angles are congruent, it's a square.
Why a parallelogram does not a rhombus?
A rhombus is a quadrilateral that has four congruent sides. It makes a parallelogram. Not all parallelograms have 4 congruent sides. Some have two pairs of opposite sides congruent.
Are all rhombuses parellelograms?
All rhombuses are parallelograms because to be a parallelogram you only have to have four sides and have opposite sides congruent.
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.
How often does a parallelogram have four congruent sides?
A parallelogram with four congruent sides is called a 'square.' In order to answer how often, we would need to establish the rate of incidence of all parallelograms.
What parallelograms have congruent opposite sides?
All of them.
What is a parallelograms with all sides congruent?
It is a rhombus.
Do all parallelograms have diagonals which bisect?
Yes; all parallelograms have diagonals that bisect each other. Other properties of parallelograms are: * The opposite sides are congruent. * The opposite sides are parallel. * The opposite angles are congruent.
Is it true that Some parallelograms are rectangles?
A parallelogram is a four sided figure. that has congruent angles and all sides are parallel
What are 4 different types of quadrilateralas?
There are: Squares, which have all four sides parallel and congruent, all four angles are right and congruent, the diagonals bisect each other and are congruent. Trapezoids, which have two of their sides parallel Rhombus, which have all sides congruent, diagonals bisect, and opposite angles are congruent Parallelograms, which have opposite sides congruent and parallel, diagonals bisect Rectangle, which is a square but one pair of opposite sides aren't congruent.
A quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are congruent and that has four congruent sides is a?
this would be a rhombus. rhombuses are parallelograms (four-sided shapes with opposite sides parallel) that have all equal side lengths. squares are included as rhombuses.
