Is every rectangle a square?
No indeed, but every square is a rectangle. Rectangles have four sides like squares, but they don't have all sides congruent to one another. All rectangles do not possess the same symmetrical lines as squares.
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 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.
Which quadrilaterals have both pairs of opposite sides that are congruent?
A parallelogram if the two pairs are mutually congruent but all four sides are not. A rhombus if all four are.
What quadrilateral has all angles congruent?
The quadrilaterals with all angles congruent are rectangles and squares. They are the only quadrilaterals in which all four angles are right angles.
Can a rectangle be a square explain?
a rectangle has 4 right angles. A rhombus has four congruent sides. A square has four right angles and four congruent sides. All squares are rectangles because all rectangles have 4 right angles, and all squares have four right angles. But not all rectangles are squares because not all rectangles have congruent sides.
Does rectangles have all four sides congruent?
no1 DUHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!
Does a rectangle have all congruent sides?
No, rectangles do not have congruent sides. Squares have congruent sides.
Are all figures with 4 congruent sides a square?
All figures with four congruent sides are rhombuses. All figures with four congruent angles are rectangles. Any shape that is both a rhombus and a rectangle is a square.
Do all rectangles have four cogruent sides?
no rectangles dont have 4 congruent side, otherwise it would be a square or a rhombus.
Every quadlitaeral a rectangle?
No. A quadrilateral is a any closed polygon with four sides. A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles and congruent opposing sides. Therefore, all rectangles are quadrilaterals, but not all quadrilaterals are rectangles.
Is it true that Some parallelograms are rectangles?
A parallelogram is a four sided figure. that has congruent angles and all sides are parallel
Are all rectangles perpendicular?
Yes. The basic definition for a rectangle is 4 sides, four right angles(perpendicular), and opposite sides are congruent.
Why aren't rectangles congruent?
because not all sides are equal
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.
Are all squares rectangles and if so why?
Rectangles have four right angles so, yes, all squares are rectangles because they also have four right-angled corners. However, rectangles can have sides of any length, as long as the opposite sides are of equal length, whereas a square has all four sides of equal length. A more technical reply could be that a rectangle has two pairs of congruent and parallel sides, which all squares have.
Is every rectangle a square?
No indeed, but every square is a rectangle. Rectangles have four sides like squares, but they don't have all sides congruent to one another. All rectangles do not possess the same symmetrical lines as squares.
