Final answer:

It is false that ten equal sections of a circle can be rearranged to form a proper parallelogram, as the curved edges do not match the straight lines defining a parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks whether it is true or false that a circle divided into ten sections of equal area can be arranged to form a shape similar to a parallelogram. By taking ten equal slices of a circle, we essentially create sector shapes that, when repositioned, may form a shape that somewhat resembles a parallelogram but not precisely. However, the curved edges of the sectors conflict with the straight edges necessary for a parallelogram. Therefore, it is false that the ten sections of the circle can be rearranged to form a shape that is accurately similar to a parallelogram.
