Yeah they have 4 equal sides

Only some parallelograms have 4 equal sides. Such a parallelogram is called a rhombus. In general, a parallelogram has two different pairs of opposed equal sides. Like a rectangle given a sideways push at opposite corners.

Does a parallelogram have equal sides?

A rhombus is a parallelogram with 4 equal sides. Many parallelograms do not have 4 equal sides. All parallelograms have 2 pairs of equal opposite sides.


Do all parallelograms have 4 sides equal in length?

No, but only if its in the form of a rhombus which has 4 sides of equal lengths


Why are all the squares parallelograms?

its because there all equal sides and have 4 sides


Do parallelograms have four equal sides?

No but they are 4 sided quadrilaterals.


Are all 4 sided polygons with 2 pairs of equal sides parallelograms?

No because a kite has 2 pairs of equal sides but it is not a parallelogram


Which shapes have 2 different pairs of equal sides?

parallelograms, and rectangles (parallelograms)


What is the difference between rhombuses and parallelograms?

For parallelograms, the lengths of each side in one pair of opposite sides don't have to be equal to the lengths of each side in the other pair, so, even though two sides are always equal in length, all 4 sides are only sometimes equal in length (as with a square). A rhombus always has all 4 sides equal in length. A rhombus (like a square or a diamond) is a parallelogram, but not all parallelograms are rhombuses.


Do the sides of a parallelograms have equal slope?

Each pair of opposite sides has equal slopes.


Do parallelograms have equal sides?

Some do, some don't. A parallelogram that has equal sides is usually called either a "rhombus" or a "square". None of the other parallelograms do.


What shapes are not parallelograms?

Shapes having less than 4 sides or more than 4 sides are not parallelograms


What shape is a square but not a parelellogram?

No shape is a square but not a parallelogram as all squares are parallelograms: All parallelograms have opposite sides parallel and of equal length, and opposite angles are equal. All squares have opposite sides that are parallel and of equal length, and opposite angles are equal; thus all squares are parallelograms. However, all squares also have all angles equal to 90o and all four sides equal, but some parallelograms have angles not all 90o and/or not all four sides of equal length; thus not all parallelograms are squares.


Do all parallelograms have four equal sides?

yes
