Thus, all rectangles are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rectangles. A rectangle maintains the properties of a parallelogram while adding the requirement of right angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, consider a rhombus, which is another type of parallelogram where all four sides are equal in length. However, the angles of a rhombus are not necessarily 90 degrees, making it a non-rectangle. The same can be said for other types of parallelograms, such as those with acute or obtuse angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, while all rectangles fit the definition of parallelograms due to their parallel and equal opposite sides, the converse is not true. The essential distinction lies in the angles: rectangles have four right angles, whereas other parallelograms can have various angle measures, thus confirming that not all parallelograms are rectangles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All parallelograms are rectangles.
