Properties of Squares and Rectangles

This video tutorial teaches how to classify parallelograms by examining their angles and sides. It explains the properties of parallelograms, including parallel and congruent sides, and addresses common misconceptions about quadrilateral hierarchies. The tutorial clarifies that squares are rhombuses and rectangles, and it provides criteria for classifying rhombuses, rectangles, and squares. By the end, viewers will understand how to classify various quadrilaterals, including parallelograms, rhombuses, rectangles, and squares.

What is a key characteristic of a parallelogram?

• It has three sides

• Opposite sides are parallel and equal

• All sides are equal

• A square has unequal sides

• A square is not a rhombus

Why are all squares considered rectangles?

• Because they are not quadrilaterals

• Because they have no parallel sides

• Because they have four right angles

• Because they have four equal sides

• Squares have no right angles

• All squares are rectangles

• All rectangles are squares

Which of the following is NOT a property of a parallelogram?
