Not necessarily. In fact, if a rectangle and parallelogram have the same base and height, their areas are equal.

Can a rectangle have a greater perimeter and also have a greater area?
Of course, a rectangle can have a greater perimeter and a greater area. Simply double all the sides: the perimeter is doubled and the area is quadrupled - both bigger than they were.
Can a rectangle have a greater perimeter than another one but have a greater area too?
yes it can; a rectangle 5 by 2 has perimeter 14 and area 10 for example; a rectangle 10 by 2 has perimeter 24 and area 20, both greater.
Can length of rectangle be greater than its breadth always?
Usually, yes.
The length of a rectangle is 3 cm greater than its width the perimeter is 24 cm What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
7.5cm x 4.5cm
How many angles are smaller than a right angle in a parallelogram?
there are 4 angles and normally, there would be 2 angles that are smaller than a right angle Except of cause if the parallelogram is a square or a rectangle, all angles are equal to 90 i.e. right angle
Two parallelograms have two sides 3 feet and 2 feet long one of the parallelograms is a rectangle and the other is not which has a bigger area and why?
The area of a parallelogram is base times perpendicular height With the dimensions given the perpendicular height of the rectangle will be greater than the parallelogram. Therefore the rectangle will have a greater area than the parallelogram.
Which has a bigger area - a parallelogram or a rectangle?
A big parallelogram has more area than a small rectangle. A small parallelogram has less area than a big rectangle. The question is a lot like asking: "Which one is older, a dog or a cat ?"
What is the perimeter of a parallelogram with a an area of 60?
It can be any length you like greater than (or equal to) 4 x √60 ≈ 30.98 A parallelogram is a sheared rectangle; the more the rectangle shears, the longer the originally "vertical" sides (the height of the parallelogram) become. (Shearing does not change the area of the shape.)
What is difference in sides between a rectangle and a parallelogram?
The intersecting lines of a rectangle are at ninety degrees while the intersecting lines that form a parallelogram may be greater than or less than ninety degrees.
Why will a parallelogram always have a smaller area than a rectangle with the same measurements?
The area of a parallelogram is the length of the 'base' times the altitude. In a rectangle, which is a special case of parallelogram, the altitude is maximum length and also is equal in length to the other side.
Can a rectangle have a greater perimeter and also have a greater area?
Of course, a rectangle can have a greater perimeter and a greater area. Simply double all the sides: the perimeter is doubled and the area is quadrupled - both bigger than they were.
Can a rectangle have a greater perimeter than another one but have a greater area too?
yes it can; a rectangle 5 by 2 has perimeter 14 and area 10 for example; a rectangle 10 by 2 has perimeter 24 and area 20, both greater.
Is it possible to draw a rectangle that in not a parallelogram?
Yes, a rectangle is not a parallelogram to begin with. The top side and bottom sides are longer than the sides. Rectangles ARE always parallelograms, they are just a specific type. The above answer is false. As long as the opposing sides are parallel, the shape is a parallelogram. Rectangles always have opposing sides that are parallel, since they are made from right angles. You cannot make a rectangle that is not a parallelogram. But you can make a parallelogram that is not a rectangle. If the shape is neither a parallelogram or a rectangle, than it is a quadrilateral.
Can a parallelogram be a shape other than a rectangle or rhombus?
Yes. A square is also a parallelogram.
Is a recrangle a parallelogram?
If you mean RECTANGLE than yes.A parallelogram is a 4 sided shape
What values of x is the area of the rectangle greater than the perimeter?
5x> 4
Need a rectangle with a area greater than 30 and a perimeter of 22?
6x5
