Area of rectangle is base x height, so half of that is ½ x base x height. QED

Explain why a rectangle is always a parallelogram but a parallelogram is not always a rectangle?
A rectangle consists of two pairs of parallel lines which means that it is a parallelogram. However, the angles of a parallelogram need not be right angles, so all parallelograms are not right angles.

All rectangles are parallelograms. are all parallelograms rectangles explain.?
All parallelograms are not rectangles. The angles of a parallelogram need not be right angles and so the figure need not be a rectangle.
Why pythagoras is applicable in right angled triangle?
I won't explain it in depth but the simple answer is because if you take and identical right triangle then you can arrange them to make a rectangle. I've attached a link to an animation showing it rearranging a triangle to show the relationship.

Explain why a square is also a rectangle?
A square is a rectangle because a square has 2 parallel sides and so does a rectangle .
