In a parallelogram are all angles right?
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (four-sided polygon) with two pairs of parallel sides. By definition, a parallelogram does not need to have all right angles. Think of rhombuses, which do not have any right angles, yet are parallelograms. Therefore, the answer is no.
Is a square a parallelogram?
Yes, a square is a parallelogram, but we'd call it a "special type" of parallelogram.A square is also a special type of rectangle, rhombus, and quadrilateral.Properties of a parallelogram:Interior angles add up to 360 degreesExterior angles add up to 360 degreesOpposite sides are congruentOpposite sides are parallelOpposite angles are congruentAdjacent angles are supplementaryDiagonal midpoints make perpendicular linesA square satisfies all of those requirements.
What is a real world example of a parallelogram?
Signs such a those on roads and the sides of boxes are all examples. In fact, since squares and rectangles are parallelograms, if you think of real world examples of square and rectangular objects, you can probably come up with tons!
Is a trapezoid ever a parallelogram?
yes, I think of it as a diamond
What are all the names you can use rectangle?
parallelogram hope i help you :) Well, I think it is a parallelogram, square, rhombus. That is all I know :P
Could a parallelogram that is not a rectangle darw it?
Here's something to think about: -- Every rectangle is a parallelogram. There are an infinite number of them. -- There are also an infinite number of more parallelograms that are not rectangles.
What are parrelograms?
Parallelograms are quadrilaterals (4 sided figuers) in which the opposite sides are parallel. Rectangles are special parallelograms with right angles at every vertex. So are squares. Think of rectangle pushed so it leans. That is what most people think of as a parallelogram.

Parallelograms are always rectangle?
Not all parallelograms are rectangles. A parallelogram is a shape with two parallel sides. Sometimes a parallelogram is a rhombus, trapezoid or a square.
Are all square parallelograms?
No. A parallelogram by definition is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of parallel sides. A square by definition is a parallelogram with 4 congruent sides and angles (each measuring 90 degrees). So there are more finite requirements that must be fulfilled for a shape to be a square. A parallelogram doesn't have to be a square--it could be a rectangle, for instance. Or, it could be just a parallelogram--nothing more. However, a square isalways a parallelogram. :)
How many lines of symmetry does a parallelogram have?
Squares, which are parallelograms, have four lines of symmetry. Rectangles have only two. Rhombi have two lines of symmetry. Generic parallelograms don't have any lines of symmetry.None normally unless it is in the shape of a rectangle in which case it will have 2 lines of symmetry
What parallelogram that has four angles is called a?
I think it is a square?
Are parallelograms and rhombus the same think?
No. All rhombi (rhombuses) are parallelograms but all parallelograms are not rhombi.

Is all rectangles parallelograms?
I think so yeah.
How much symmetry does parallelogram have?
I think a parallelogram has 4 line of symmetry!.
