Answer:

The answer is, no!

Explanation:

The reason to that answer is that some other shapes are also, having the same properties as shown. An example for that property would also mean a rectangle and not always a parallelogram.

So, here is the given information on what we need to classify a shape as a parallelogram:-

1) Parallel Sides

2)Opposite Sides are equal.

3) Adjacent sides are not equal.

4) Opposite angles are equal.

5)Adjacent angles are not equal.

Based on this, we can classify a shape as a parallelogram.

Hope, this answer helps!
