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.

I hope you know the definition of the parallelogram. i.e.,In geometry, a parallelogram is a quadrilateralwith two sets of parallel sides.so naturally rhombus and rectangle are special case of parallelogram. That means every rhombus is parallelogram similarly every rectangle is a parallelogram. But converse need not be true.So parallelogram not necessarily a rhombus or a rectangle.GMG.
