A rectangle is always a parallelogram. By definition, a parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are equal and parallel. A rectangle meets these criteria, as it has opposite sides that are equal in length and all angles are right angles. Additionally, all rectangles are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rectangles.

What is the difference between a parallelogram and a square?

A square is a parallelogram a parallelogram isn't always a square. The definition of parallelogram is a closed shape with two parallel sides. So a rectangle is a parallelogram and so is a square and a rombus. The definition of square is shape with four equal sides.

Diagonally opposite pairs of angles will always be equal, but the only time all angles in a quadrilateral parallelogram are equal is when that shape is a rectangle.

Is it possible to draw a rectangle that in not a parallelogram?

Yes, a rectangle is not a parallelogram to begin with. The top side and bottom sides are longer than the sides. Rectangles ARE always parallelograms, they are just a specific type. The above answer is false. As long as the opposing sides are parallel, the shape is a parallelogram. Rectangles always have opposing sides that are parallel, since they are made from right angles. You cannot make a rectangle that is not a parallelogram. But you can make a parallelogram that is not a rectangle. If the shape is neither a parallelogram or a rectangle, than it is a quadrilateral.

How is a parallelogram different from a rhombus?

Technically, a rhombus is a parallelogram, but a parallelogram is not always a rhombus. A parallelogram is any four-sided shape with two sets of parallel lines. A rhombus is a parallelogram with all equivalent side lengths. So, a rhombus is a more specific parallelogram. (And so is a a square or a rectangle.)
