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.
