A rhombus is a quadrilateral, parallelogram, and a kite.

• never

• always

• sometimes

Which shapes always have 4 right angles?

• square

• rectangle

• parallelogram

• quadrilateral

• rhombus

Which explanation is correct?

• All squares are rhombuses. Rhombuses have 4 equal sides. Therefore, all squares have 4 equal sides.

• Only some rhombuses are parallelograms. Parallelograms have two pairs of parallel sides. Therefore, only some rhombuses have two pairs of parallel sides.

• All rhombuses are parallelograms. Parallelograms have 2 pairs of parallel sides. Therefore, all rhombuses have 2 pairs of parallel sides.

Which type of quadrilateral has 2 pairs of equal opposite angles, four congruent sides and 2 pairs of parallel sides?

• trapezoid

• kite

• rhombus

• rectangle

True of False: All parallelograms have two sets of congruent sides and rhombuses are parallelograms, so all rhombuses have 2 sets of congruent sides.

• True

• False
