Question 1,2,3,4,5 by zhixiang

Q1. A square is a rhombus because the sides of the square and the rhombus are the same length and its is parallel to each other. A rhombus isn't a square because it doesn't have to have 4 right angles.


Q2.All of the above. A quadrilateral is a shape with 4 sides,which is true for both squares and parallelograms. The length and position the sides of the two shapes have makes it parallel to its opposite. A trapezoid has one pair of parallel side


Q3. The figure is a trapezium because it is the only quadrangle that has two sides opposing with the same length and the the other two with different length and vertical pairs of angles are a total of 180 degrees.


Q4.No, all parallelogram is not squares as all sides of a square have the same length. And some parallelograms are rectangles so not all parallelograms are squares.


Q5.BFED is a parallelogram because it has four sides which are parallel to their opposite side and their supplementary angles add up to 1800

  2. technically, trapezium is a shape with four sides, of which only two are parallel, whereas, a trapezoid is a shape with four sides of which none are parallel. But in American english, they have opposite meaning
