Yes.

Starting with a square, shear it by sliding one edge parallel to the opposite edge; this creates a parallelogram with its height the length of the side of the square which is two of the sides; the other two sides will be longer.

What is a long parallelogram?

It is important to know the different parallelograms. A long parallelogram is a parallelograms whose sides are long in length.


Do parallelograms have diagonal sides?

A parallelogram is anything from a square to a rectangle. As long as it has parallel sides, then it is a parallelogram. If you're thinking of a rhombus, then it has diagonal sides.


Is quadrilateral a parallelogram?

Not necessarily. All parallelograms are quadrilaterals but not all quadrilaterals are parallelograms. Parallelograms are more specific instances of quadrilaterals. Its like saying all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.


What is a parallelogram where all 4 sides are equal and the opposite sides are parallel?

All "parallelograms" have opposite sides that are parallel. If all four sides have an equal length and the angles are not all right angles, it is a rhombus. If there is any right angle, then they are all right angles and the parallelogram is a square.(note : it is not possible for a quadrilateral to have four equal sides without being one of these parallelograms.)


How can you convince me that a rhombus is a parallelogram but a parallelogram is not a rhombus?

A parallelogram requires that opposite sides are parallel and of the same length; it is not a requirement that all four sides are of the same length. A rhombus requires that opposite sides are parallel and all four sides are of the same length. It is possible that a parallelogram can have all four sides of the same length; when it does it now fulfils the requirements of a rhombus, and so is a rhombus. Thus a rhombus is a type of parallelogram (all rhombuses are parallelograms), but there are parallelograms which are not rhombuses (those where there are two sides of one length (opposite and parallel) and the other two sides of a different length).

Does a parallelogram have equal sides?

A rhombus is a parallelogram with 4 equal sides. Many parallelograms do not have 4 equal sides. All parallelograms have 2 pairs of equal opposite sides.

Is it ever possible for the height of a parallelogram to be one of the parallelogram's sides?

YES. A square is a parallelogram and, its height is one of the sides. (Same goes for every rectangle, not only squares.)


Two parallelograms have two sides 3 feet and 2 feet long one of the parallelograms is a rectangle and the other is not which has a bigger area and why?

The area of a parallelogram is base times perpendicular height With the dimensions given the perpendicular height of the rectangle will be greater than the parallelogram. Therefore the rectangle will have a greater area than the parallelogram.


Are the faces of a parallelogram congruent?

Parallelograms have sides. Opposite sides are congruent.


How many sides do 5 parallelograms have?

A parallelogram has four sides, so 5 parallelograms altogether have 4 * 5 = 20 sides


Can some rhombuses be parallelograms?

Some rhombuses can be parallelograms. It all depends on the direction of the sides. A diamond is a rhombus that is not a parallelogram A square is a rhombus that is a parallelogram


What is are the relationships between parallelograms?

A parallelogram has two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent. This means that opposite angles are congruent as well. All parallelograms must fit this description or else it's not a parallelogram.


What quadrilateral is not a parallelogram?

Trapezoids are not parallelograms. Trapezoids are 4 sides with 1 set of parallel sides. Parallelograms are 4 sided with opposite sides that are parallel.
