I am doing a geometry project and I need to get a picture of something outside that is a shape of a parallelogramWhat object can be a parallelogram?
get a cardboard box, squash it into a parallelogram, then take a picture of it outside
2 sets of changing junctions on railways are near enough parallelogram
natural occuring parallelograms are really hard to find
but anything that is square is techinically a parallelogram but if you want a parallelogram then it'll be much harderWhat object can be a parallelogram?
technically anything square or rectangular is also a parallelogram ... but let's think of something with only 2 parallel sides.
how about a child's swing? the seat is parallel to the bar at the top, and the other 2 sides are not parallel - making a trapezium.
...and I just thought of a better one: most car windows are rough parallelograms.
A picture frame is one. Another is a book or a piece of computer paper.
As others have said, all squares and rectangles are technically parallelograms.
If you're looking for examples that don't have right angles, there are the diamonds in the Mitsubishi logo, some stair railings (the kind that have a lower bar parallel with the hand rail), and those common pink rubber erasers that are tapered on each end.
Buildings can be parallelograms.
Rectangles and squares are subclasses of parallelograms, so I'm sure you could find plenty of those. Although, I'm having trouble thinking of anything which is a general parallelogram, and not a rectangle.
A parallelogram is a four-sided figure in which opposite sides are parallel. Each side of a parallelogram is also equal in length to its opposite side. The area of a parallelogram is equal to the length of the base times the shortest distance to the opposite side. if you go to this web site you can see pictures of geometry in real life, if you scroll down the page you will see PARALLEOGRAMS on a building.http://library.thinkquest.org/C006354/pi鈥?/a>
