Example Question #2 : Understand Categories And Subcategories Of Two Dimensional Figures: Ccss.Math.Content.5.G.B.3
Which of the following shapes is NOT a parallelogram?
Rectangle
Rhombus
Square
Kite
Kite
A rectangle, square, and rhombus can all be classified as a parallelogram because each shape has opposite side lengths that are equal. A kite does not.
Example Question #51 : Geometry
What is the difference between a trapezoid and a isosceles trapezoid?
A trapezoid has to have equal base angles
There is no difference between them
An isosceles trapezoid has to have equal side lengths
An isosceles trapezoid has to have equal base angles
A trapezoid has to have equal side lengths
An isosceles trapezoid has to have equal base angles
By definition, an isosceles trapezoid has to have

A parallelogram can not be classified as a square because a square has to have 
A parallelogram can not be classified as a rectangle because a rectangle has to have 
A parallelogram can not be classified as a triangle because a parallelogram has to have 
A parallelogram can not be classified as a rhombus because a rhombus has to have 
A parallelogram has four sides, and all shapes with four sides are quadrilaterals.
Example Question #1053 : Ssat Upper Level Quantitative (Math)
Figure NOT drawn to scale.
The above depicts Rhombus 
Give the area of Rhombus 
The area of any parallelogram is the product of the length of its base and that of a corresponding altitude. We can take 
All four sides of a rhombus have the same length, so we can find 
Now multiply the lengths of this base and the altitude to get the area:
Example Question #1 : Understand Categories And Subcategories Of Two Dimensional Figures: Ccss.Math.Content.5.G.B.3
What two shapes can a square be classified as?
Rectangle and Rhombus
Trapezoid and Rhombus
Rhombus and Triangle
Trapezoid and Triangle
Rectangle and Triangle
Rectangle and Rhombus
A square can also be a rectangle and a rhombus because a rectangle has to have at least 
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Parallelogram
The base length of a parallelogram is 
The side length is half of the base length:
The perimeter of a parallelogram is:
Where:
Example Question #2 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Parallelogram
The side length of a parallelogram is 
The base length is three times more than the side length, so we have:
Base length
The perimeter of a parallelogram is:
Where:
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Parallelogram
The base length of a parallelogram is 10 inches and the side length is 6 inches. Give the perimeter of the parallelogram.
Like any polygon, the perimeter of a parallelogram is the total distance around the outside, which can be found by adding together the length of each side. In case of a parallelogram, each pair of opposite sides is the same length, so the perimeter is twice the base plus twice the side length. Or as a formula we can write:
