A rectangle is a type of parallelogram. A parallelogram by nature is a geometric shape where two sides are parallel to each other. Parallel lines run in the same direction with the same distance between them for their entire length. If the lines are extended to infinity, the lines will never intersect.
A rectangle is composed of two sets of parallel lines. Two parallel lines make up the top and bottom and two parallel lines make up each side.

Can a parallelogram have the same area as a rectangle?
Yes it can. For one thing, a rectangle is a parallelogram so of course the answer is trivially yes. Now take a parallelogram that is not a rectangle. Area =basexheight These values can certainly be the same as the lenght of the sides of a rectangle.
Is there a rectangle that is not a parallelogram?
Nope, A rectangle is a type of parallelogram...
Are diagonals of equal length in a parallelogram and rectangle?
the diagonal in a paralleogram is not equal but the diagonals in the rectangle are congruent this is because the opposite sides of a parallelogram and rectangle are same parallel to each other but the adjacent sides of a parallelogram is not perpendicular where as the adjacent sides of rectangle is perpendicular to each other.
How do you turn a parallelogram in to rectangle?
A rectangle is technically already a parallelogram
A rectangle with 4 right angles and all sides the same?

Why do the parallelogram and the rectangle have the same area?
a parallelogram is a tilted rectangle
What is the same about a rectangle and parallelgram?

How is the area of a rectangle and a parallelogram the same?
A parallelogram is just a rectangle leaned to one side
How do you prove that a parallelogram is a rectangle?
a rectangle has four right angles and opposite sides are all the same length This means that a parallelogram is not always a rectangle, but a rectangle is always a parallelogram, by definition.
Can a parallelogram have the same area as a rectangle?
Yes it can. For one thing, a rectangle is a parallelogram so of course the answer is trivially yes. Now take a parallelogram that is not a rectangle. Area =basexheight These values can certainly be the same as the lenght of the sides of a rectangle.
Draw a rectangle that is not a parallelogram?
draw a parallelogram which is not a rectangle.verify that its area is equal to the rectangle on the same base and altitude
How are a rectangle and a parallelogram the same?
A rectangle is a parallelogram since it is a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parallel sides. A rectangle is just a specific type of parallelogram. Paralellogram = Parallel sides have equal length
Can a rectangle and parallelogram have the same perimeter?
Yes they can.
Can a parallelogram have the same perimeter of a rectangle?
Yes
Why is the area of a rectangle greater than that of a parallelogram?
Not necessarily. In fact, if a rectangle and parallelogram have the same base and height, their areas are equal.
How is the height of a parallelogram similar and different from the width of a rectangle?
The width of a rectangle is the same as one of its sides. That is not [usually] the case for a parallelogram.
