If one side of a quadrilateral is congruent to its opposite side then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram?
No, it doesn't have to be. A quadrilateral can definitely be a parallelogram only if: - Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. - Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent. - One pair of opposite sides are both congruent and parallel. - Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent. - The diagonals bisect each other.
How is a rhombus different from a parallelogram?
A parallelogram is a figure where opposite sides are parallel to each other regardless of how many sets of sides the figure has (square, hexagon, etc). A rhombus is a parallelogram with four sides in which the two pairs of opposites sides are congruent.
How many congruent triangles make a parallelogram?
Answer: 2 Explanation: A parallelogram is a quadrilateral which has both pairs of the opposite sides parallel. Congruent triangles are triangles that have exactly the same three sides and exactly the same three angles. So, in a parallelogram, each diagonal divides it in 2 congruent triangles.

Are opposite angles of a parallelogram congruent for all parallelograms?
angles diagnal from each other in a parallelogram are congruent for shape be parallelogram, all sides must be parallel
How do you describe the angles and sides of each quadrilateral?
quadrilateral--a four-sided figure, any length sides, any angles trapezoid--one pair of parallel sides, any length sides, any angles parallelogram--two pairs of parallel sides, opposite sides congruent, opposite angles congruent rectangle--two pairs of parallel sides, opposite sides congruent, all angles are right angles (90 degrees) rhombus--two pairs of parallel sides, all sides congruent, opposite angles congruent square--two pairs of parallel sides, all sides congruetn, all angles are right angles (90 degrees)
