rectangle. A rectangle is always a parallelogram. Parallelogram has opposite sides equal and parallel. Rectangle also has opposite sides equal and parallel. The difference between the two is that all interior angles of a rectangle are $90^\\circ$ while angles of of parallelogram need not be $90^\\circ$. So, a rectangle can be called a parallelogram because it fulfills all the requirements of a parallelogram.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion\">\n                <div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title-wrap\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-1-213f3aca-40f7-40cf-aa02-34e569fb90c9\" tabindex=\"0\">\n                    <p class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title ub-content-toggle-title-213f3aca-40f7-40cf-aa02-34e569fb90c9\"><strong>Is a rectangle a parallelogram ?<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-toggle-wrap right\"><span class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-state-indicator wp-block-ub-chevron-down\"><\/span>\n                    <\/div><\/div><div role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-content-wrap ub-hide\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-1-213f3aca-40f7-40cf-aa02-34e569fb90c9\">\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Yes, a rectangle is a special case of parallelogram.
