Classifying Two Dimensional Figures

A figure has four congruent sides, two sets of parallel sides, and two acute angles. What type of figure is it?

• Rectangle

• Square

• Rhombus

• Trapezoid

Sydney made this graphic organizer. Is it correct?

• Yes, because rhombuses, squares and parallelograms are types of rectangles.

• Yes, because each figure has one more side that the one above it.

• No, because rhombuses are not considered to be quadilaterals

• No, because rhombuses, rectangles, and squares are types of parallelograms
