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.
