Which statement BEST describes why the shape below is a rhombus?

• It is a square with no right angles.

• It is a parallelogram with equal sides.

• It is a polygon with equal sides and equal angles.

• It is a quadrilateral with one pair of acute angles and one pair of obtuse angles.

Using this hierarchy of two dimensional figures, determine which of the following labels can be given to the shape below. Select three that apply.

• paralellogram

• polygon

• quadrilateral

• rectangle

The definition of a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with __________.

• all four sides the same length and opposite sides parallel

• exactly one pair of parallel sides

• both pairs of opposite sides parallel

• four right angles and opposite sides parallel

A quadrilateral with 4 congruent sides, two pair of parallel lines and 4 congruent angles.

• Square

• Rectangle

• Rhombus

• Parallelogram

Give the most precise classification for the quadrilateral.

• parallelogram

• rhombus

• square

• rectangle

• kite

Answer explanation

The most precise classification for the quadrilateral is a rhombus because all sides are equal in length, which is a defining characteristic of a rhombus.
