An ordinary quadrilateral with no equal sides is not a parallelogram. A kite has no parallel lines at all. A trapezium and and an isosceles trapezium have one pair of opposite sides parallel.
Q. Are all parallelograms rectangles True or false?
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of opposite, equal and parallel sides. A rectangle is a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of opposite, equal and parallel sides BUT ALSO forms right angles between adjacent sides. The same way that not all rectangles are squares, not all parallelograms are rectangles.

Q. Why is every parallelogram not a rectangle?
All rectangles are said to be parallelograms because rectangle has two pair of parallel sides and parallelogram also. Because when we add two right angled triangles we get a rectangle while on a parallelogram it not happens.
Q. Is a rectangle a parallelogram sometimes or always?
DEFINITION of RECTANGLE: A parallelogram with all 4 interior angles congruent to each other is called a rectangle. So, straight from a definition we see that any rectangle is a parallelogram with additional property of having all interior angle congruent to each other.
Q. What are 3 types of parallelograms?
There are three special types of a parallelogram.
- Rhombus: A parallelogram in which all sides are equal.
- Rectangle: A parallelogram in which all angles are right angles and the diagonals are equal.
- Square: A parallelogram with all equal sides and all angles equal to 90 degrees. The diagonals of a square are also equal.
Q. Which best describes opposite angles in a parallelogram?
The opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal. The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Q. What defines a parallelogram?
: a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel and equal.
Q. What is parallelogram theorem?
Theorem 1: In a parallelogram, the opposite sides are of equal length. Theorem 2: If the opposite sides in a quadrilateral are the same length, then the figure is a parallelogram. Theorem 3: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if and only if the diagonals bisect each other.
Q. How do I prove a rhombus is a rhombus?
If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect all the angles, then it’s a rhombus (converse of a property). If the diagonals of a quadrilateral are perpendicular bisectors of each other, then it’s a rhombus (converse of a property).
