Question

ron claims that the opposite sides of a quadrilateral are always congruent. which quadrilateral could be used to show that ron’s claim is false? a non - square rectangle b parallelogram c rhombus d trapezoid

Explanation:

• A non - square rectangle has opposite sides congruent (by definition of a rectangle).
• A parallelogram has opposite sides congruent (a property of parallelograms).
• A rhombus has all sides congruent (so opposite sides are also congruent).
• A trapezoid (a non - isosceles trapezoid) has only one pair of parallel sides and the non - parallel sides are not congruent. So it can be used to show that Ron's claim (opposite sides of a quadrilateral are always congruent) is false.

Answer:

D. trapezoid
