What is a unique feature of an isosceles trapezoid?

• A line of symmetry through the parallel sides

• No parallel sides

• One pair of parallel sides

Which statement is true for all parallelograms?

• All sides are of equal length

• Only one pair of sides is parallel

• Opposite sides are parallel and congruent

• All angles are right angles

Does a rhombus have all sides congruent?

• Yes, all sides are congruent

• Yes, but only adjacent sides are congruent

• No, it has no congruent sides

What properties make a square also a rectangle?

• Two pairs of parallel sides

• Four right angles

• All of the above

• Four congruent sides

Are all trapezoids considered parallelograms?

• Yes, because they have at least one pair of parallel sides

• No, because not all sides are parallel

• Yes, because they have two pairs of parallel sides

• No, because they have no parallel sides

Can a parallelogram be considered a trapezoid?

• No, never

• Only if all sides are congruent

• Yes, always

• Only if it has right angles

Is every parallelogram also an isosceles trapezoid?

• Yes, always

• No, not always

• Only if it has four right angles

Which feature is exclusive to rectangles among the quadrilaterals discussed?

• Four right angles

• A line of symmetry

• Two pairs of parallel sides

• Opposite sides that are congruent
