What are the similarities of a rhombus and a parallelogram?
They are just different names for the same shape. * * * * * Actually, they are not. A rhombus is a parallelogram with all its sides of the same length. It is, therefore a special kind of parallelogram. (Just like a square is a special kind of rectangle). So all properties of a parallelogram apply to a rhombus.

What are the properties of a parallelogram?
The opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel.The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.The opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect one other.The area, A, of a parallelogram is A = BH, where B is the base of the parallelogram and H is its height.The area of a parallelogram is twice the area of a triangle created by one of its diagonals.The area of a parallelogram is also equal to the magnitude of the vector cross product of two adjacent sides.Each diagonal bisects the parallelogram into two congruent triangles.It is possible to create a tessellation of a plane with any parallelogram.The parallelogram is a special case of the trapezoid.The rectangle is a special case of the parallelogram.The rhombus is a special case of the parallelogram.
How many right angles does a parallelogram?
A parallelogram doesn't need any right angles in order to be a parallelogram.If it has any, then it's a special kind of parallelogram, called a "rectangle".Note:The way the properties of a parallelogram work out,if it has one right angle, then it has four of them.

What makes a parallelogram a special trapezoid?
The fact that (a) it has all the properties of a trapezoid, and (b) it has some additional properties, which not all trapezoids have, namely the fact that both sets of opposite segments are parallel.
Is a parrallelogram a rectangle?
Yes, a rectangle is a special case of a parallelogram, where each of the 4 angles = 90°
Is a square or trapezoid have a special name and is a parallelogram?
