A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. In the special case that the angles are right angles, the shape becomes a rectangle.

What is the converse of if a shape is a rectangle then it is a parallelogram?

~(A => B) is ~B => ~A That is to say, the converse of "A implies B" is "the converse of B implies the converse of A". In this case: If a shape is not a parallelogram then it is not a rectangle.

What is 2m by 3m?

When you say "2m by 3m," you are referring to the dimensions of a rectangle. The "2m" represents the length of the rectangle, and the "3m" represents the width. To find the area of the rectangle, you would multiply the length by the width. In this case, the area would be 2m x 3m = 6 square meters.

Are all rectangels regular?

It depends on what you consider a rectangle.A square is a special type of rectangle (and not vise versa).If you go by that a rectangle is simply a four-sided figure, then you go by that a square is a spacial type of rectangle that has all sides congruent. If this is the case, then no, not all rectangles are regular as a "regular" rectangle would be considered a square. A rectangle is a parallelogram (and not vise versa).If you go by that a four-sided figure is called a parallelogram, then there are more rules you go by. You would say that there are three spacial types of parallelograms. One is a rhombus, a parallelogram with four congruent sides. The second is a rectangle, a parallelogram with four right-angles. The third is a special type of parallelogram as well as a rhombus. A square is a parallelogram with four equal sides and four right-angles. A square is also classified as a rhombus with four right-angles. In this case, no, a square would be a regular rectangle.A rectangle is a four-sided figure.If you go by the rule that a square is not a rectangle, then yes, all rectangles are regular, unless you think a parallelogram is a type of rectangle, in that case, no.


Is a retangle a parallelogram?

Is a quadrilaterial never a square?

It may, or it may not be. We cannot say a quadrilateral is never a square. A quadrilateral is a figure with four line segments for sides (edges) and four vertices (internal angles). If all the sides are the same length and and one of the interior angles is a right angle, all the interior angles will be right angles and you will have a square. All squares are quadrilaterals, but not all quadrilaterals are squares. Most aren't. A square is a special case of a quadrilateral. So is a rectangle. A square is a special case of a rectangle, while we're on the subject. Every square is a rectangle, but not every rectangle is a square.
