Why can all squares be classified as parallelograms but not all parallelograms can be classified as squares?
A parallelogram is a four-sided figure with opposite sides parallel. Squares and rectangles are two examples of parallelograms. A square is a four-sided figure that has four equal sides, and opposite sides are parallel.
What shape is a square but not a parelellogram?
No shape is a square but not a parallelogram as all squares are parallelograms: All parallelograms have opposite sides parallel and of equal length, and opposite angles are equal. All squares have opposite sides that are parallel and of equal length, and opposite angles are equal; thus all squares are parallelograms. However, all squares also have all angles equal to 90o and all four sides equal, but some parallelograms have angles not all 90o and/or not all four sides of equal length; thus not all parallelograms are squares.
A quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are congruent and that has four congruent sides is a?
this would be a rhombus. rhombuses are parallelograms (four-sided shapes with opposite sides parallel) that have all equal side lengths. squares are included as rhombuses.
What quadrilateral had opposite sides parallel and all sides congruent?
A square's opposite sides are parallel and all the sides are congruent.
Do all quadrilaterals have opposite sides parallel?
No, only trapeziums (1 pair), parallelograms and squares (both pairs)
