How does a rhombus differ from a trapezoid?

• A rhombus has four sides of equal length.

• A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides.

• A rhombus has all right angles.

• A and B are correct.

Answer explanation

A rhombus has four sides of equal length, and a trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides, so both A and B are correct.

Which quadrilateral has exactly one pair of parallel sides?

• Square

• Rectangle

• Trapezoid

• Parallelogram
