Question

which statement is true? a rhombus always has 4 equal - length sides and 4 square corners. a trapezoid always has 4 equal - length sides and 0 square corners. a parallelogram always has 2 pairs of parallel sides and 0 square corners. a rectangle always has 2 pairs of parallel sides and 4 square corners.

Explanation:

• A rhombus has 4 equal - length sides but its angles are not always square (right - angles).
• A trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides and does not always have 4 equal - length sides.
• A parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel sides but can be a rectangle (which has square corners).
• A rectangle, by definition, has 2 pairs of parallel sides (opposite sides are parallel) and 4 square (right - angled) corners.

Answer:

A rectangle always has 2 pairs of parallel sides and 4 square corners.
