Answer:
Similarities between a parallelogram and a rectangle
- Quadrilateral (4-sided, two dimensional shape)
- Opposite sides are equal and parallel to each other
- Sum of all the interior angles is 360°
- Diagonals bisect each other
- Adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to 180°)
- Opposite angles are equal
Differences between a parallelogram and a rectangle
- A rectangle has four equal interior angles (each are 90°) whereas only the opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal.
- The diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length, whereas the diagonals of a parallelogram are not equal in length.
All rectangles are parallelograms since the opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel, but all parallelograms are not rectangles.
