Question

Name a paralleloram that is neither a square, rhombus nor rectangle

Answer 1

Rhomboid is your answer...

A rhomboid has four parallel sides. The opposite sides are equal, but the corners do not form right angles.

Hence it is not a Rhombus nor a rectangle and also cannot be square.

So rhomboid is your answer...

Hope it helps...

Answer 2

The hierarchy is the following:

A polygon is a parallelogram if its opposite sides are parallel. No more request.

A polygon is a square if it's a parallelogram with equal sides and angles

A polygon is a rhombus if it's a parallelogram with equal sides.

A polygon is a square if it's a parallelogram with equal angles.

So, we have to build a figure whose opposites sides are parallel. but:

• Its sides must not have the same length (otherwise it would be a rhombus, and possibly a square)
• Its angles must not be right (otherwise it would be a rectangle)

For example, if you pick the points

$A(0,0),\ B = (10,0),\ C = (11,1),\ D = (1,1)$

And connect them, you'll have a paralleloram that is neither a square, rhombus nor rectangle.
