Question

which of the following is not always a parallelogram?

rhombus

kite

square

rectangle

Explanation:

Step1: Recall parallelogram properties

A parallelogram has opposite sides parallel and equal.

Step2: Analyze rhombus

A rhombus has all sides equal and opposite sides parallel. So, it is a parallelogram.

Step3: Analyze square

A square has all sides equal, opposite sides parallel, and all angles \(90^{\circ}\). So, it is a parallelogram.

Step4: Analyze rectangle

A rectangle has opposite sides equal and parallel, and all angles \(90^{\circ}\). So, it is a parallelogram.

Step5: Analyze kite

A kite has two pairs of adjacent sides equal. But it does not always have opposite sides parallel. So, it is not always a parallelogram.

Answer:

Kite
