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).
What is parallelogram none of the sides are the same length?
A parallelogram is a four sided quadrilateral and it has 2 same congruent sides. The top and the bottom.
A parallelagram with all sides the same length?
If a parallelogram has all four sides the same length it's called a square.
What is a quadrilateral and parallelogram with four sides that are all the same length?
A square or a rhombus
Is a parallelogram always a rhombus why?
No, because all four sides need not be the same length.

Is a rhombus a parallelogram and why?
Technically it is because a rhombus is a parallelogram that has four sides of equal length in the same way that a square is technically a rectangle that has four sides of equal length.
A parallelogram with all side the same length but no a rectangle?
It could be either of the following: * Rhombus - A parallelogram with four sides of equal length. * Square - A parallelogram with four sides of equal length and four angles of equal size (right angles).
A parallelagram with all sides the same length?
If a parallelogram has all four sides the same length it's called a square.
How are parallelogram and a rhombus different?
All four sides of a rhombus are the same length. In a parallelogram there are two pairs of sides with equal lengths but one pair is different from the other pair.
Why is a parallelogram not a rhombus?
It is, if all four of its sides are the same length.
Is a parallelogram are always rhombus?
No. A rhombus is a special case when all four sides are of the same length. A parallelogram must have opposite sides of equal length but adjacent sides can be of different length.
Is every pair of parallelogram a rhombus?
A parallelogram is a rhombus only if all four of its sides have the same length.
What are the difference between a rhombus and parallelogram?
A rhombus is a kind of parallelogram. All four of its sides are of the same length.
A rhombus is a parallelogram but with all sides what?
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides that are opposite each other and of the same length. A rhombus is a special case of a parallelogram where all four sides are of equal length.
What is a quadrilateral and parallelogram with four sides that are all the same length?
A square or a rhombus
