Question

choose all answers that describe the polygon below.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
parallelogram
quadrilateral
rectangle
rhombus
square
trapezoid

Explanation:

1. Quadrilateral: The figure has 4 sides, so it is a quadrilateral (a 4 - sided polygon).
2. Parallelogram: The arrows indicate that both pairs of opposite sides are parallel, which is the definition of a parallelogram.
3. Rectangle: A rectangle is a parallelogram with 4 right angles. From the figure's appearance (right angles, as it looks like a rectangle - shaped parallelogram) and the fact that it is a parallelogram with right angles, it can be classified as a rectangle.
4. Trapezoid: A trapezoid has at least one pair of parallel sides. Since this figure has two pairs of parallel sides, it also satisfies the (inclusive) definition of a trapezoid (some definitions consider trapezoid as having exactly one pair, but the inclusive definition (at least one) is common in many curricula now).
5. Rhombus and Square: A rhombus has all sides equal, and a square has all sides equal and 4 right angles. The figure does not appear to have all sides equal (the length and width seem different), so it is not a rhombus or a square.

Answer:

• Parallelogram
• Quadrilateral
• Rectangle
• Trapezoid
