Question

which terms describe this shape? choose all that apply.

isosceles trapezoid
parallelogram
rhombus
rectangle

Explanation:

Analyze the geometric markings

The given quadrilateral has single tick marks on all four of its sides. This indicates that all four sides are equal in length (congruent).

Apply definitions of quadrilaterals

• A quadrilateral with four congruent sides is defined as a rhombus.
• Since opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel, every rhombus is also a parallelogram.
• It is not a rectangle because it does not have four right angles.
• It is not an isosceles trapezoid because it has two pairs of parallel sides, whereas a trapezoid has exactly one pair (or at least one pair but not both pairs congruent in this manner).

Select the correct terms

The terms that describe this shape are "parallelogram" and "rhombus".

Answer:

• isosceles trapezoid
• parallelogram (Correct answer)
• rhombus (Correct answer)
• rectangle
