Why is a rectangle a parallelogram but a parallelogram is not a rectangle?
A rectangle has three rules: -2 pairs of parallel sides -four 90 degree angles -2 pairs of congruent sides A parallelogram has three rules: -2 pairs of parallel sides - 2 pairs of congruent angles -2 pairs of congruent sides The only difference is that a rectangle has 90 degree angles, which a parallelogram doesn't have. That's why a parallelogram can't be a rectangle. A rectangle follows all the rules of being a parallelogram, so it can be a parallelogram.
Parallelogram with congruent sides and all right angles?
All sides congruent = square Two pairs of mutually congruent sides = rectangle
What are the similarities between a parallelogram and a trapezoid?
A parallelogram has two pairs of sides that are parallel when a trapezoid only has one. A parallelogram's opposite sides are congruent and opposite angles are congruent. A trapezoid has no opposite congruent sides or angles, unless it's an isosceles trapezoid, which base angles are congruent. They both have four sides and four interior angles that add up to 360 degrees.
How many pairs of congruent sides does each parallelogram have?
A parallelogram has two pairs of congruent sides.
In the parallelogram ABCD name three pairs of congruent angles and three pairs of congruent sides?
If the parallelogram is a square then angle A is congruent to angle B ,is congruent to angle C. AB is congruent to BC is congruent to CD.
