What is a parallelogram?

Answer 1

A parallelogram is a two dimensional shape bounded by four straight sides comprising two pairs of parallel sides.

Answer 2

A parallelogram:

• is a quadrilateral (a four sided polygon)
• has opposite sides parallel and of equal length
• has opposite angles equal

The area of a parallelogram is calculated by multiplying one side length by the perpendicular distance between that side and the side parallel to it.

A rectangle is a special parallelogram in that all four angles are equal and are right angles (90°).

A rhombus is a special parallelogram in that all four sides are of equal length.

A square is a special parallelogram in that all four angles are equal (and are right angles) and all four sides are equal in length.

Answer 3

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two parallel sides. In addition, parallelograms are often discussed in the mathematical field of geometry.

Answer 4

a four-sided plane rectilinear figure with opposite sides parallel.

Answer 5

It is a polygon with four sides, with some further special characteristics.
