sam and gaytria were having a conversation about rectangles. sam said a rectangle is always a parallelogram, but a parallelogram is not always a rectangle. gaytria said a parallelogram is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a parallelogram. who is correct and why?
sam is correct because a rectangle has all of the properties of a parallelogram and not vice versa.
gaytria is correct because a parallelogram has all of the properties of a rectangle and not vice versa.
A rectangle has opposite - sides parallel and equal (properties of a parallelogram), and also has four right - angles. A parallelogram has opposite sides parallel and equal but does not necessarily have four right - angles. So a rectangle is always a parallelogram, but a parallelogram is not always a rectangle.
