Well, a rectangle is defined as having two sets of parallel sides and four right angles, a parallelogram is defined as having two sets of parallel sides and two sets of supplementary angles. Therefor, a rectangle is always, by definition, a parallelogram. A parallelogram is not always a rectangle, but it can be.

Is every rectangle parallelogram?

Yes, every rectangle is a parallelogram. Parallelograms are defined as a shape with opposite, but parallel sides. A rectangle is defined as a shape with 90 degree angles, 2 sets of parallel sides, and the opposite sides must be equal in length. Because the sides of any rectangle are parallel, any qualified rectangle is a parallelogram.
