Question

are all parallelograms are rectangles

Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
No, not all parallelograms are rectangles.

A parallelogram is defined as a four-sided figure (quadrilateral) with opposite sides that are both parallel and equal in length.

A rectangle is a specific type of parallelogram that not only has equal opposite sides but also has four right angles (90 degrees).

While all rectangles are parallelograms (because they meet the criteria of having opposite sides that are parallel and equal), not all parallelograms are rectangles, as many can have angles that are not right angles. Examples of such parallelograms include rhombuses and general parallelograms with oblique angles.
