shape with 4 sides and no right angles?
circle
the three-dimensional counterpart of a parallelogram is a parallelepiped.









































the etymology (in greek παραλληλ-όγραμμον, a shape "of parallel lines") reflects the definition.









































section::::special cases.









































bullet::::- rhomboid – a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel and adjacent sides are unequal, and whose angles are not right angles









































bullet::::- rectangle – a parallelogram with four angles of equal size (right angles).









































bullet::::- rhombus – a parallelogram with four sides of equal length.









































bullet::::- square – a parallelogram with four sides of equal length and angles of equal size (right angles).









































section::::characterizations.
parallelogram
closely related and important geometrical concepts are perpendicular lines, meaning lines that form right angles at their point of intersection, and orthogonality, which is the property of forming right angles, usually applied to vectors. the presence of a right angle in a triangle is the defining factor for right triangles, making the right angle basic to trigonometry.









































section::::in elementary geometry.









































a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. a square has four right angles, in addition to equal-length sides.









































the pythagorean theorem states how to determine when a triangle is a right triangle.
