Are all squares parallelograms?

Question

Are all squares parallelograms?

Answer 1

Yes, all squares are always parallelograms.

Answer 2

yes, all squares are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are squares.

Answer 3

Yes.  In a parallelogram the opposite sides are equal and parallel.  So squares are parallelograms, though a special type of parallelogram.

Answer 4

as long as it is a perfect "square" than it is always a parallelogram.  Rectangles are parallelograms too.

Answer 5

yess!

Answer 6

Yes, a parallelogram is simply a four sided figure in which each pair of opposite sides run parallel to each other.

Therefore, as Jolly pointed out,  all squares are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are necessarily squares.

Rectangles are parallelograms, but they're not squares.  Also, if you take a square or rectangle and "slant" two of the opposite side lines so that the interior angles are something other than 90 degrees each, it's still a parallelogram as long as each of the angles in opposite corners are equal

Answer 7

Hi,

     The general view in chess is that a 'square' has four sides.  I refer to them as 'cells'.  Cells can be square, triangular, circular, hexagonal etc.  You may like to visit my web page - link below?  Also, you can PRINT out a copy of any orthodox chess set and board in the world - FREE!
