What is a parallelogram whose sides are equal in length?
A parallelogram whose sides are equal in length is always a rhombus. In addition, it may be a rectangle. If it's a rectangle, then it's also a square.
What is a four sided figure whose opposite sides are of equal length?
There is no way to know.If two opposite sides are parallel and of equal length, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram (rectangle, rhomboid, square, or rhombus).
Why is the square is a special rectangle?
A square is a rectangle whose adjacent sides are equal.
Is a square a rectangle a rhombus a parallelogram or a trapezoid?
A square is a rectangle (whose sides are all equal), or a rhombus (whose angles are all equal).
Why are squares classified as rectangles?
By definition a rectangle is a four-sided figure whose opposite sides are equal in length and corners are right angles. The definition doesn't say anything about the lengths of adjacent sides, though. A square has the same definition as a rectangle with the added criterion that adjacent sides are also equal in length. That means a square is a more-specific type of rectangle.
