Question

1. a square and a rectangle are shown at the right. which attributes do these figures always have in common? select all that apply. 10.12

number of sides
number of parallel sides
number of angles
side lengths
square angles

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze number of sides

Both square and rectangle are quadrilaterals, so they have 4 sides.

Step2: Analyze number of parallel sides

A square has 2 pairs of parallel sides (opposite sides are parallel), a rectangle also has 2 pairs of parallel sides (opposite sides are parallel).

Step3: Analyze number of angles

A square has 4 angles, a rectangle has 4 angles.

Step4: Analyze square angles

A square has 4 right - angles (\(90^{\circ}\)), a rectangle has 4 right - angles (\(90^{\circ}\)).

Step5: Analyze side lengths

A square has all sides equal in length, a rectangle has opposite sides equal in length. So side lengths is not a common attribute.

Answer:

Number of sides, Number of parallel sides, Number of angles, Square angles.
