Can a quadrilateral be a parallelogram and a rhombus?
Yes. All rhombuses are parallelograms, but the reverse is not true. (I.e. there are parallelograms which are rhombuses and there a parallelograms that are not rhombuses. -- Just like Every bus has wheels but not everything with wheels is a bus.)
Do parallelograms have parallel sides?
Yes. A Parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of parallel sides which are opposite each other and of equal length, though the pairs may be of different length to each other. If the angles are all 90° then the parallelogram is also a rectangle. If the angles are all 90° AND all sides are equal then the parallelogram is also a square. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares; Similarly all squares are rhombuses but not all rhombuses are squares And all rhombuses, and thus squares, are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rhombuses (nor squares).
Why all rhombuses is a parallelogram?
Because they share same properties of a parallelogram although a rhombus has 4 equal sides and diagonals that intersect each other at right angles.
Are rhombuses special parallelogram?
Yes. A parallelogram has two pairs of equal sides, but in a rhombus all the sides are equal.(similar situation: a square is a special kind of rectangle)
Names of 4 sided shapes?
a vague answer would be polygon, parallelogram, and quadrilateral. there are also squares, rectangles, rhombuses, and trapezoids.
Can rhombuses be called a parallelogram?
Yes
Are rhombuses always parallelogram?
Yes.
Can some rhombuses be parallelograms?
Some rhombuses can be parallelograms. It all depends on the direction of the sides. A diamond is a rhombus that is not a parallelogram A square is a rhombus that is a parallelogram
Can rhombuses be parallelogram?
if the diagonals of parallelogram become Perpendicular then the figure is said to be rhombus......
Are parallelograms rhombuses?
Some parallelograms are rhombuses, but all rhombuses are parallelograms. A parallelogram is a rhombus if and only if all of it's sides are the same length.
What are some figures that are a parallelogram?
Rhombuses, diamonds, rectangles, and squares.
Are all rhombuses parellelograms?
All rhombuses are parallelograms because to be a parallelogram you only have to have four sides and have opposite sides congruent.
Can a rhombus and a square be a parallelogram?
Yes Squares and Rhombuses are subsets of parallelograms.
Why is a parallelogram is not necessarily a rhombus?
The definition of a parallelogram is that it has four sides, the opposite sides are congruent and parallel, and opposite angles are congruent. This includes rectangles, squares, rhombuses, etc.The definition of a rhombus states that it is a parallelogram, but more specifically that all sides are congruent.So a rhombus is a parallelogram, but not all parallelograms are rhombuses.
Why can a parallelogram not be described as a rhombus?
Although a rhombus is a parallelogram. not all parallelograms are rhombuses. A parallelogram is any shape with two or more pairs of parallel sides.
Can a rhombus be a parallelogram?
All rhombuses are paralleleograms. Rhombuses are parallelograms in which all four sides are the same length (and the opposite angles are congruent). Squares are rhombuses in which all four angles are right.
Are all angles equal on a parallelogram?
THey can be (as in squares and rectangles) but usually aren't (as in rhombuses.)
