Look at the figure. What is the classification of the figure?

• Rectangle

• Trapezoid

• Quadrilateral

• Rhombus

Select the list that correctly identifies the classifications for each group in the diagram below

• Group A has parallel lines, Group B has perpendicular lines, and the middle group has parallel and perpendicular lines.

• Group A has one right angle, Group B has zero right angles, and the middle group has both right angles and zero right angles.

• Group A has perpendicular lines, Group B has parallel lines, and the middle group has no parallel and no perpendicular lines.

• Group A has perpendicular lines, Group B has parallel lines, and the middle group has parallel and perpendicular lines.
