The area of a parallelogram (even with unequal adjacent sides) is still the base times the height. But the height is not the length of a side but the distance (at right angles to the base) between the base and the side parallel to it.

What is a rhomboid?
A parallelogram with unequal adjacent sides
Does a parallelogram have 2 adjacent sides equal?
no. Not necessarily. A rhombus is a parallelogram with equal adjacent sides. Gererally, though they will be unequal.
What is a tilted rectangle called?
A parallelogram.Types of parallelogram:Rhomboid - A quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel and adjacent sides are unequal, and whose angles are not right anglesRectangle - A parallelogram with four angles of equal sizeRhombus - A parallelogram with four sides of equal length.Square - A parallelogram with four sides of equal length and four angles of equal size (right angles).
How do you find the perimeter of of a parallelogram?
If the parallelogram is sideways like the small sides are crooked and the bottom lines are straight then you have to add all the sides to get your answer.Measure any two adjacent sides. Sum them, then multiply by two.It's the sum of the lengths of all sides that form a parallelogram.Perimeter is the distance around an object. If we have a parallelogram with a length 12 and width 5, then 5+5+12+12 which is equal to 34. Same with trapezoid, rectangle, triangle, star, etc.P = 2l + 2w
Does a parallelogram have all sides the same length?
No.
What is difference between rhomboid and parallelogram?
A parallelogram in which angles are oblique and adjacent sides are of unequal length.
What is a rhomboid?

Does a parallelogram have 2 adjacent sides equal?
no. Not necessarily. A rhombus is a parallelogram with equal adjacent sides. Gererally, though they will be unequal.
Is a rhombuss a rectangle?
Is it not a parallelogram in which the adjacent sides are of different/unequal lengths ?
What is the different between a kite and a parallelogram?
Both shapes have 4 sides, two pairs equal in length. In a parallelogram the equal length sides are opposite each other. In a kite the equal length sides are adjacent.
What is the name of a Paralellogram having adjacent sides of unequal length?
A TrapeziumGoodness, no. A trapezium only has one pair of parallel sides. As far as I know, the answer is just a plain old parallelogram. You may be confusing this with a rhombus, equilateral parallelogram, or diamond, or even lozenge. The only parallelogram with adjacent sides that are equal, and therefore all sides equal (since opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal).By the way, did you notice you spelled parallelogram incorrectly? - 2 ells followed by one ell.the answer is RHOMBOID
Is a parallelogram are always rhombus?
No. A rhombus is a special case when all four sides are of the same length. A parallelogram must have opposite sides of equal length but adjacent sides can be of different length.

What does two adjacent sides of a parallelogram mean?
Adjacent sides meet at a corner, forming an angle. A parallelogram has two sets of parallel sides, hence, it also has two sets of lines having equal length.
Are some parallelograms are kites?
In a parallelogram the opposite sides are equal in length. In a kite two pairs of adjacent sides are equal in length.
What shape has 2 pairs of equal length sides adjacent to each other?
That is a parallelogram.
Are diagonals of equal length in a parallelogram and rectangle?
the diagonal in a paralleogram is not equal but the diagonals in the rectangle are congruent this is because the opposite sides of a parallelogram and rectangle are same parallel to each other but the adjacent sides of a parallelogram is not perpendicular where as the adjacent sides of rectangle is perpendicular to each other.
