Quadrilaterals: Trapezoids, Rhombuses, and Kites

How many right angles can a right trapezoid have?

• A. Just one

• B. Maximum of two

• C. At least three

• D. All its angles are right angles

How many obtuse angles can a right trapezoid have?

• A. Just one

• B. Maximum of two

• C. Maximum of three

• D. All angles are obtuse angles

How many parallel opposite sides can a right trapezoid have?

• A. There are no parallel sides on a right trapezoid

• B. The parallel sides of a trapezoid are not opposite each other

• C. There can only be two parallel opposite sides on a right trapezoid.

• D. There can only be one parallel opposite sides on a right trapezoid.

Can an isosceles trapezoid have two equal sides?

• A. Yes, but these sides must be parallel with each other.

• B. Yes, but these sides cannot be parallel with each other.

• C. No, the sides of an isosceles trapezoid can never be equal.

• D. No, the sides of an isosceles trapezoid can only be parallel but not equal.

Does an isosceles trapezoid always have two obtuse angles?

• A. Yes, and these angles are always opposite each other.

• B. No, because only rhombuses have obtuse angles.

• C. Yes, and these angles are adjacent angles.

• D. No, an isosceles trapezoid can only have one obtuse angle.

What do trapezoids have in common?

• A. They always have two acute angles.

• B. They always have one obtuse angle.

• C. They always have two pairs of opposite parallel sides.

• B. They always have one pair of opposite parallel sides.

Is a rhombus a square?

• A. Yes, because all the sides of a rhombus are equal.

• B. Yes, because all the angles of a rhombus are right angles.

• C. No, because a square only have right angles.

• D. No, because only squares have equal sides.

Is a rhombus a kite?

• A. Yes, because it has no parallel sides.

• B. No, because a kite has no parallel sides.

• C. Yes, because a kite has no equal sides.

• D. No, because it has only one pair of parallel opposite sides.

Is a kite a different from a trapezoid?

• A. Yes, because trapezoids only have one pair of parallel opposite sides.

• B. Yes, because trapezoids can have more than one pair of parallel opposite sides.

• C. No, because they both have no parallel sides.

• D. No, because both have no equal sides.

How different is a kite from all the quadrilaterals?

• A. Kites have no parallel sides.

• B. Kites have no equal sides.

• C. Kites have no right angles.

• D. Kites have no acute angles.
