If we have a parallelogram where all sides are congruent then we have what is called a rhombus. The properties of parallelograms can be applied on rhombi. If we have a quadrilateral where one pair and only one pair of sides are parallel then we have what is called a trapezoid.
A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if: 1  Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. (By definition). 2  Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent. If they are congruent, they must also be parallel.  One pair of opposite sides are congruent and parallel. Then, the other pair must also be parallel.
