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 3 names for a parallelogram?
A parallelogram is a special quadrilateral, or four-sided polygon. Three special parallelograms are the square, the rectangle and the rhombus.
Is the diagonals of a parallelogram the same length?
No, the diagonals of a parallelogram are not necessarily the same length. In a general parallelogram, the diagonals can be of different lengths. However, in a special case of a parallelogram, such as a rectangle or a rhombus, the diagonals may have specific properties, but they are still not equal in a general parallelogram. Only in a rectangle do the diagonals have the same length.
Is a rectangle a special type of parallelogram?
Yes, it is a special type of parallelogram.
Properties of a parallelogram?
A parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel lines

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.
Is the diagonals of a parallelogram the same length?

Properties of a parallelogram?
A parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel lines
Is a parrallelogram a rectangle?
Yes, a rectangle is a special case of a parallelogram, where each of the 4 angles = 90°
Why do all of the properties of a parallelogram apply to the rectangles?
Because a rectangle is a parallelogram.
Is a square or trapezoid have a special name and is a parallelogram?
Square = parallelogram and a square trapezoid = trapezoid Parallelogram = Parallelogram
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.
What attribute makes a rectangle be a special parallelogram?
A rectangle is a special type of parallelogram characterized by having four right angles. This means that all interior angles are 90 degrees, which distinguishes it from other parallelograms that may have angles of different measures. Additionally, the opposite sides of a rectangle are still parallel and equal in length, maintaining the properties of a parallelogram.
