Properties of Rectangles, Rhombus, and Squares

A rectangle is a parallelogram and also has which properties:

• four right angles

• diagonals are congruent

• diagonals form a right angle AKA are perpendicular

• four congruent sides

A square is a parallelogram which includes all of which properties?

• four right angles

• diagonals bisect eachother and are congruent

• diagonals form a right angle AKA are perpendicular

• four congruent sides

• diagonals bisect opposite angles

Which quadrilaterals have two pairs of opposite sides that are congruent?

• rectangle

• rhombus

• parallelogram

• trapezoid

• square

Which quadrilaterals have four right angles?

• rectangle

• rhombus

• parallelogram

• trapezoid

• square

• 12

• 27

• 62

• 32

Using the properties of the special parallelogram, solve for x and y.

• x = 2, y = 1

• x = 2, y = 0

• x = 1, y = 1

• x = 1, y = 0

Which quadrilaterals have diagonals that bisect eachother?

• rectangle

• rhombus

• parallelogram

• trapezoid

• square

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

• true

• false

Which quadrilaterals have diagonals that are congruent?

• rectangle

• rhombus

• parallelogram

• trapezoid

• square

Answer explanation

Diagonals are congruent when there are 4 right angles, and only squares and rectangles have 4 right angles.

Which quadrilaterals have two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel?

• rectangle

• rhombus

• parallelogram

• trapezoid

• square
