Why is a rhombus a parallelogram?

A parallelogram is a 4-sided figure whose opposite sides are parallel. and opposite angles are the same. The opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel, therefore it's a parallelogram. Its sides also happen to be all the same length, which isn't required in a parallelogram, and that's why it's a special kind of parallelogram and has a special name. However, a parallelogram is NOT a rhombus!


What is the name of a Paralellogram having adjacent sides of unequal length?

A TrapeziumGoodness, no. A trapezium only has one pair of parallel sides. As far as I know, the answer is just a plain old parallelogram. You may be confusing this with a rhombus, equilateral parallelogram, or diamond, or even lozenge. The only parallelogram with adjacent sides that are equal, and therefore all sides equal (since opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal).By the way, did you notice you spelled parallelogram incorrectly? - 2 ells followed by one ell.the answer is RHOMBOID
