A parallelogram is a four sided figure with its opposite sides parallel to each other.
A rectangle is a parallelogram whose four angles are all 90'
so draw a parallelogram such that the sides, (width), are parallel to each other but NOT perpendicular to the base (so the 90 degree angles are not formed)
hope this helps
Have to draw a parallelogram that is not a rectangle with a base of 6cm and a hieght of 4cm
