Question

which terms describe this shape? choose all that apply.
image of a quadrilateral
options: isosceles trapezoid, quadrilateral, rectangle, kite (with checkmarks on them)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Quadrilateral Definition

A quadrilateral is a 4 - sided polygon. The shape has 4 sides, so it is a quadrilateral.

Step2: Recall Isosceles Trapezoid Definition

An isosceles trapezoid has a pair of parallel sides and the non - parallel sides (legs) are equal in length. From the shape, we can see it has a pair of parallel sides and the legs seem equal, so it is an isosceles trapezoid.

Step3: Recall Rectangle Definition

A rectangle has 4 right angles and opposite sides equal and parallel. The given shape does not have 4 right angles, so it is not a rectangle.

Step4: Recall Kite Definition

A kite has two distinct pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length. The given shape does not have two distinct pairs of adjacent equal sides, so it is not a kite.

Answer:

The correct terms are: isosceles trapezoid, quadrilateral
