A parallelogram is a geometric figure with four sides where opposite sides are parallel to each other. It has four angles, two of which are acute and two obtuse. Its opposite sides are of equal length, and its opposite angles are equal.
This means that if you draw a line parallel to one of the sides of the parallelogram, the distance between the two lines will be constant at all points.
Parallelograms are found in many everyday situations, such as the shape of some traffic signs, window frames, or furniture.
