A rectangle has 4 equal, 90 degree angles (one at each corner). A parallelogram may not have all equal angles. Imagine a rectangle that whose opposite corners were pulled so that it had two slanted, but parallel sides, and two straight and parallel sides. That is what some parallelograms look like. A rectangle, however, is a type of parallelogram. You can see a picture of a non-rectangular parallelogram, by clicking on the related link.
