Task:
An angle can be defined as two rays or two line segments having a common end point. The endpoint becomes known as the vertex. An angle occurs when two rays meet or unite at the same endpoint.
1. How may degrees are there in one full turn?
2. Imagine you are facing North. You turn clockwise through 90 degrees. Which direction are you facing now?
3. Imagine the capital letter M. What letter does it look like when it's rotated 180 degrees?
4. An angle less than 90 degrees is known as ...
5. An angle between 90 degrees and 180 degrees is known as ...
6. If two of the angles inside a triangle are 90 degrees and 50 degrees, what is the third angle? What angle property/properties did you use in you reasoning?
7. Are the lines in the capital letter L parallel or perpendicular?
8. Will two parallel lines ever cross? Why?

Question 1:
I agree with this statement, because a square has 4 sides and 2 pairs of parallel lines, so it is a rhombus. However, a rhombus does not have any perpendicular lines, so it is not a square.
Question 3:
It is a trapezium. The sum of the opposite angles of a trapezium are equal, i agree with that, as the sum of the opposite angles of a trapezium are equal.
Question 5:
Yes it is a parallelogram because the lengths of the opposite sides of BFDE are equal, and thesum of the angles of each side is 180 degrees.
Question 1
Basically all the squares as they have all the properties of a rhombus
2 paris of parallel lines
all the lines are straight Properties of a rhombus
the lines are all of equal length
2 paris of parallel lines
all the lines are straight Properties of a square
the lines are all of equal length
All the angles inside are 90 degrees
so we can consider a square a rhombus since it has all the properties of it but we cannot say that a rhombus is a square as it lacks 1 property of a square.
Question 2
D ( answer )
A is true because a quadrilateral is a figure that has 4 sides.
B is true as you can see in the below diagrams
C is true as shown in the below diagram
Question 4
No I do not agree with the statement as though all squares are parallelograms but not all it cannot be the inverse as the parallelogram lacks 2 of the properties of a square
2 paris of parallel lines
all the lines are straight Properties of a square
the lines are all of equal length
All the angles inside are 90 degrees
2 paris of parallel lines
all the lines are straight Properties of a parallelogram
