Question

1. a square is a special type of:

a. rectangle
b. circle
c. triangle
d. rhombus

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the properties of a square and a rectangle

A rectangle has four right - angles and opposite sides equal. A square has four right - angles, all sides equal (which also means opposite sides equal). So a square satisfies the properties of a rectangle.

Step2: Analyze the properties of a square and a rhombus

A rhombus has all sides equal and opposite sides parallel. A square has all sides equal, opposite sides parallel (and also has right - angles). So a square satisfies the properties of a rhombus.
A square is not a circle (a circle is a curved figure) and not a triangle (a triangle has three sides).

Answer:

A. Rectangle, D. Rhombus
