Question

given the figure as marked, identify the most specific type of quadrilateral.
select the best answer from the choices provided.
a. parallelogram
b. rhombus
c. rectangle
d. no answer is correct.

Explanation:

A parallelogram is defined as a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The figure has one pair of sides marked as parallel (by the arrows) and the other pair of sides marked as equal (by the tick marks). In a parallelogram, opposite sides are parallel and equal. A rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides equal. There is no indication that all sides are equal here. A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles. There is no indication of right angles here. So the most specific type is a parallelogram.

Answer:

A. parallelogram
