A parallelogram is a four-sided shape with opposing sides being parallel. Therefore, a parallelogram may be a square, a rectangle, a rhombus (a sort of slanted square), or the shape most commonly referred to as a parallelogram is a sort of slanted rectangle. (Trapezoids are NOT parallelograms because only one pair of opposing sides are parallel)
it is a 4 sided figure that can sometimes be mistaken as a rhombus
Yes. All rhombuses are parallelograms, but the reverse is not true. (I.e. there are parallelograms which are rhombuses and there a parallelograms that are not rhombuses. -- Just like Every bus has wheels but not everything with wheels is a bus.)
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.
No. All rhombi (rhombuses) are parallelograms but all parallelograms are not rhombi.
Never, honey. Just because a parallelogram has those fancy opposite sides that are parallel, doesn't mean it automatically becomes a rectangle. Rectangles have those nice right angles, while parallelograms can be all slanted and sassy. So, keep those shapes in check, darling.
= Parallelograms look like rectangles, squares, and quadrilateral. =
An octagonal prism has two parallel faces that are octagons and parallelograms connecting them. A rectangular prism is like a box.
It looks like a pup tent.The two parallel ends of the shape are triangles and the faces that connect these are parallelograms, usually rectangles.
go on google images, however any four sided figure in which the opposing sides are parallel is a parallelogram

Rhombus, square, and rectangle.
No trapezoids are parallelograms, and no parallelograms are trapezoids.
No trapezoids are parallelograms, and no parallelograms are trapezoids.
No trapezoids are parallelograms, and no parallelograms are trapezoids.
No. Parallelograms are never trapezoids. Trapezoids are never parallelograms.
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.
