The square and the rhombus are both equilateral. All their sides are the same length. In the square, the angles are all right angles. If you make a square and have each vertex on a "hinge" so that they can move, you can "reshape" the square and make different diamond (or lozenge) shapes. As you pull and push the shape to change it, the sides always remain the same length, of course. The angles all change as you move it though. That's a rhombus.

What is a four-sided polygon with two pairs of parallel sides and two pairs of congruent sides?
any parallelogram because parallelograms are polygons with four sides.
Is is true if two parallelograms have corresponding sides that are equal they must be congruent?
yes it is ture
How many pairs of equal sides has a rectangle?
A rectangle has two pairs of parallel and congruent sides. An equilateral rectangle, or square, has four equal sides. Other quadrilaterals include trapezoids, which have two adjacent and equal sides, parallelograms, which have two pairs of parallel and congruent sides, and rhombi, which have four equal sides. (The a rectangle is a type of parallelogram. What differentiates it is angle configuration. A rhombus is likewise differentiated from a square by angle configuration.)
If a quadrilateral has four congruent sides but its diagonals are not congruent then the quadrilateral is a?
trapezoid * * * * * It cannot be a trapezoid because that does not have four congruent sides. In fact it need not have even two congruent sides. The correct answer is a rhombus.
Do trapezoids have four congruent sides?
No. If it did it would be a rectangle. A trapezoid only has two congruent sides.
Why a parallelogram does not a rhombus?
A rhombus is a quadrilateral that has four congruent sides. It makes a parallelogram. Not all parallelograms have 4 congruent sides. Some have two pairs of opposite sides congruent.
What is a four-sided polygon with two pairs of parallel sides and two pairs of congruent sides?
any parallelogram because parallelograms are polygons with four sides.
What are two parallegrams that are congruent?
They are simply two congruent parallelograms.
What is a Rhombus polygon?
A rhombus is a type of parallelogram. Parallelograms are types of quadrilaterals. Everything that applies to quadrilaterals and parallelograms apply to rhombuses.Quadrilaterals have four sides and four angles.Parallelograms have at two pairs of opposite sides and opposite angles congruent. (Note: congruent is pretty much "equal", except for geometric figures). Both pairs of opposite sides are also parallel, hence the name "parallelogram".Rhombuses have all sides congruent.
What are 4 different types of quadrilateralas?
There are: Squares, which have all four sides parallel and congruent, all four angles are right and congruent, the diagonals bisect each other and are congruent. Trapezoids, which have two of their sides parallel Rhombus, which have all sides congruent, diagonals bisect, and opposite angles are congruent Parallelograms, which have opposite sides congruent and parallel, diagonals bisect Rectangle, which is a square but one pair of opposite sides aren't congruent.
Is is true if two parallelograms have corresponding sides that are equal they must be congruent?
yes it is ture
What quadrilaterals have two pairs of congruent sides?
Parallelograms Rhombuses Rectangles Squares
What is are the relationships between parallelograms?
A parallelogram has two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent. This means that opposite angles are congruent as well. All parallelograms must fit this description or else it's not a parallelogram.
What is a description of a parallelogram?
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (4-sided figure) with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. That's usually the primary definition. There are properties common to all parallelograms: opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, and diagonals bisect each other. Other special parallelograms have additional properties. A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles and its diagonals are congruent. A rhombus is a parallelogram with four congruent sides. Its diagonals are perpendicular and each diagonal bisects two angles of the rhombus. A square is a parallelogram as well. It has four right angles and four congruent sides, so it is also a rectangle and a rhombus. How's that for confusing???

What is a four-sided polygon with two congruent parallel sides?
A square is a four-sided polygon with two congruent parallel sides.
