How are the area of a paralellogram and the area of a rectangle related?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the areas?

OpenStudy (sidmanfu):

they dont tell me the areas

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm

OpenStudy (sidmanfu):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A parallelogram is a 4-sided shape where opposites sides are parallel. A rectangle is a special case of a parallelogram. All rectangles are parallelograms

OpenStudy (sidmanfu):

yeah so is that the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But a rectangle is a shape where opposites sides are parallel *and* all the corners are 90 degree angles. So you can't say that all parallelograms would be rectangles. Some parallelograms would be rectangles, but not all.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sounds about right to me

OpenStudy (sidmanfu):

okay thanks
