What condition would a parallelogram also be a rectangle?

A rectangle is a parallelogram where all internal angles are equal at 90°


The shape is not rectangle but looks like one?

It would have to be either a Parallelogram or a Trapezoid, both are Quadrilaterals. The rectangle is a type of Parallelogram.


Does a parallelogram have any sides that are perpendicular?

If it did it would be a rectangle

Two, a square and a trapezoid. A square is a rectangle and a parallelogram.


A rectangle a rhombus?

That depends on the rectangle. If it is a square, then yes, it is also a rhombus. Otherwise, it would be a parallelogram.


A rectangle pushed out of shape?

It would look like a parallelogram.

Does a rectangle has four equal angles?

yes. if it is not, it would be a parallelogram, a rhombus or a trapezium.

What is a parallelogram with all sides the same length but it is not a rectangle?

That would be a rhombus. (It can't be a 'square', because a square is also a rectangle.)


Are all rectangels regular?

It depends on what you consider a rectangle.A square is a special type of rectangle (and not vise versa).If you go by that a rectangle is simply a four-sided figure, then you go by that a square is a spacial type of rectangle that has all sides congruent. If this is the case, then no, not all rectangles are regular as a "regular" rectangle would be considered a square. A rectangle is a parallelogram (and not vise versa).If you go by that a four-sided figure is called a parallelogram, then there are more rules you go by. You would say that there are three spacial types of parallelograms. One is a rhombus, a parallelogram with four congruent sides. The second is a rectangle, a parallelogram with four right-angles. The third is a special type of parallelogram as well as a rhombus. A square is a parallelogram with four equal sides and four right-angles. A square is also classified as a rhombus with four right-angles. In this case, no, a square would be a regular rectangle.A rectangle is a four-sided figure.If you go by the rule that a square is not a rectangle, then yes, all rectangles are regular, unless you think a parallelogram is a type of rectangle, in that case, no.


Is the area of a rectangle and a parallelogram be different?

No it isn't different because a rectangle is four sided and the corresponding angles are the same length. If you cut part of a rectangle into a triangle and put it on the opposite side it would turn into a parallelogram. You take part of it away and put it on another side that is no difference. So there is no differences about parallelogram and rectangle. (ONLY THE SHAPE OF COURSE.) Hope this helped you! >.<
