Question 1:
I agree with the statement. A square is a rhombus as the square has the same/ equal length and are parallel to each other. A rhombus is not a square as it does not have 4 right- angled triangles.
Question 2:
My answer is D. A square and a rhombus has four corners and the interior angles add up to 360° thus, both of themare considered quadrilaterals. Both square and rectangle have 2 pairs if parallel lines. A trapezoid is a four-sided figure with one pair of parallel sides.
Question 3:
The figure is a trapezium as it is the only quadrangle that has two sides opposing with the same length and the the other two with different length. Also. the vertical pairs of angles are a total of 180 degrees. Thus, it is a trapezium.

ReplyDeleteappreciate your effort for attempting all the questions.
Just a simple question:

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI think that you have done a good work answering the questions, good explanation.
For Question 2, you should say why the other options are wrong. Other than that good work :D
The answers make sense and are easy to understand:) Good Work:D
ReplyDeleteIt is easy to understand how you answer the question.
ReplyDeleteFor Question 2, you stated that it is true that a trapezoid is a four-sided figure with one pair of parallel sides. But according to the dictionary and websites, in British maths, it is a quadrilateral with no sides parallel. So is it true?
ReplyDeleteI got the information from: http://www.mathopenref.com/trapezium.html
Other than that question your answers make sense. Well done (:
