Is a parallelogram ever a square?
A parallelogram is a square when all 4 angles of the parallelogram are equal to 90 degrees and all 4 sides are congruent to each other
Is a rectangle ever a rhombus?
no!:)
Can a rhombus and square ever be congruent?
Very clever question! The answer is yes, they can. A square is, in fact, a rhombus. It's a special case of one. A rhombus is a quadrilateral with four equal sides. A square fits that description except it also has four equal angles. So, if you have two identical squares, you can actually say that you have a rhombus that is congruent to a square! I hope your teacher didn't mark you wrong if you answered "no." If, however, you have two figures, one a square and the other a rhombus with one pair of obtuse angles and one pair of acute angles, then the answer is no.Rhombus:Rhombus is a quadrilateral with four equal sides.Square:Square is a quadrilateral with four equal sides and angle between the adjacent sides are 90o exactly.This implies that square is always a rhombus.But a rhombus need not be a square always.A rhombus can be a square if the angles between the adjacent sides are 90o exactly.So, a rhombus and square can be congruent if their sides are equal and the angle between the adjacent sides of a rhombus are 90o exactly.

Can the area of a rectangle ever have the same number of units as its perimeter?
Yes, if the sides are 4 units.
Do you add or subtract with area?
If you are solving for area of a basic shape, you multiply and follow formulasi.e. square = L^2 rectangle = L*W Circle = (pi)r^2 Triangle = .5BH etc.If you are solving the area for a complex shape, such as a square, rectangle, and triangle conjoined, you add the areas of each individual shape.You will only ever subtract if trying to find a new area after cutting out a shape from it (which won't be done until later maths)
