A square, a rectangle, a trapezoid, and a rhombus all belong to which group of shapes?

• squares

• parallelograms

• quadrilaterals

• regular polygons

A rhombus has these characteristics:

-opposite sides are parallel

-all four sides are the same length

Based on this information, which statement must be true?

• Every square must have these same characteristics

• Every rectangle must have these same characteristics

• Every quadrilateral must have these same characteristics

• Every parallelogram must have these same characteristics

Samantha states that a parallelogram is always a rhombus. Is she correct?

• Yes, because a parallelogram has opposite angles that are equal in size.

• Yes, because a parallelogram has opposite sides that are equal in length.

• No, because a parallelogram does not have opposite sides that are equal.

• No, because a parallelogram does not always have 4 equal sides.

Into which category can a trapezoid be placed?

• parallelogram

• quadrilateral

• rectangle

• rhombus

All quadrilaterals have four sides. Trapezoids are quadrilaterals, so all trapezoids have...

• four sides

• four right angles

• four acute angles

• two pairs of parallel sides

Colton drew a parallelogram with four sides of equal length and two pairs of equal angles. What shape did he draw?

• kite

• rectangle

• square

• trapezoid

• All rhombuses are squares.

• All squares are parallelograms.

• All squares and rectangles have opposite sides that are congruent.

• All parallelograms, rectangles, and squares have opposite angles that are congruent.
