A parallelogram is a rhombus?

No, other way. A rhombus is a special kind of parallelogram ... one with all four of its sides the same length.

How is a rhombus and a parallelogram different?

a rhombus and a parallogram are diffrent from each other beacuse the sides of a rhombus are some not equal to each other * * * * * The above answer is the wrong way around. All four sides in a rhombus must be of the same length. In a parallelogram, the pair of opposite sides must be of the same length, but each pair can be different from the other.


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.


List one way a parallelogram and a rhombus are not alike?

One key difference between a parallelogram and a rhombus is that while all rhombuses are a specific type of parallelogram with all sides of equal length, not all parallelograms have this property. Parallelograms can have sides of varying lengths while still maintaining opposite sides that are equal and parallel. Thus, the defining characteristic of equal side lengths distinguishes a rhombus from a general parallelogram.


Is a rhombus a parallelogram?

Yes. A rhombus is a special kind of parallelogram. It's a four-sided figure that has all of the characteristics it needs to be called a parallelogram, plus the extra feature that it needs to be called a rhombus.A parallelogram doesn't need to have all four sides the same length. If they are, then it can also be called a rhombus.In the same way ... the rhombus doesn't need to have all four angles the same size. If they are, then the rhombus can also be called a square.


Name one way in which a triangle and a parallelogram are different?

A triangle has three sides, while a parallelogram has four.


How many lines of symmetry does a parallelogram have have?

Some people say a parallelogram does have a line of symmetry because it looks like a rhombus but the truth is that a parallelogram does not have a line of symmetry because if you take paper and fold it in any way in a shape of a parallelogram so a parallelogram does not have a line of symmetry


What other way can you call a square?

a polygon,quadrilateral,parallelogram,rectangle and a rhombus hope this helps if you are having a problem with math


What do you call a rectangle that is slanted?

A slanted rectangle is a parallelogram in the same way that a slanted square is a rhombus.


How does knowing the properties and definitions of two - dimensional figures helps you classify them in a hierarchy diagram?

I am not sure that it does, because there is no clear hierarchy. For example, with quadrilaterals (moving towards regularity), you could go parallelogram -> rectangle -> square or parallelogram -> rhombus -> square In the first case, the number of equal angles has been increased first and then the number of sides of equal length. In the second case it is the other way around. But neither of parallelogram -> rectangle -> rhombus -> square nor parallelogram -> rhombus -> rectangle -> square is a valid hierarchy. So there is no hierarchical order between a rectangle and rhombus. The same situation applies to all polygons with more sides.


What is the name of a Paralellogram having adjacent sides of unequal length?

A TrapeziumGoodness, no. A trapezium only has one pair of parallel sides. As far as I know, the answer is just a plain old parallelogram. You may be confusing this with a rhombus, equilateral parallelogram, or diamond, or even lozenge. The only parallelogram with adjacent sides that are equal, and therefore all sides equal (since opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal).By the way, did you notice you spelled parallelogram incorrectly? - 2 ells followed by one ell.the answer is RHOMBOID
