Geometry Question

1.) Determine for each of the following which of the figures (if any) labeled (1) through (10) can be classified under the given terms:
a.) Isosceles triangle
b.) Isosceles but not equilateral triangle
c.) Equilateral but not isosceles triangle
d.) Parallelogram but not a trapezoid
e.) A trapezoid but not a parallelogram
f.) A rectangle but not a square
g.) A square but not a rectangle
h.) A square but not a trapezoid
i.) A rhombus but not a kite
j.) A rhombus
k.) A kite

Answer 1

Loving how little work there is. Maybe help with one question, and you'll figure it out from there?

Answer 2

Post your answers and I'll check them for you.

Answer 3

That's sounds good.

Answer 4

ok let me type them really fast

Answer 5

a.) 1,2
b.) 1
c.) none
d.) 3,4,6,7
e.) 5
f.) 7
g.) 6
h.) 6
i.) none
j.) 4,6,8

Answer 6

Not sure about a)2 there...

Answer 7

You should also include 10 for d.

2 for a is correct. Equilateral triangles are also isosceles.

Answer 8

ok. im stupid.

Answer 9

your not stupid Tim, there is just a lot of things to remember

Answer 10

e should have none. All trapezoids have 4 sides.

Answer 11

We all make stupid mistakes at some point or another.

Answer 12

g and h should also have none.

Answer 13

@Bmar1209 --> In #3 on the .png, what do the ticks mean? Ordinarily, they indicate congruent sides and in this case all 4 sides would be congruent making #4 on the .Png the same question. So, look at .Png #3 and tell me what's up with the tick marks. Thanks.

Answer 14

and j should have 3, 4, 6. That is assuming the diagram for 3 is correct. As directrix said, it appears to be the same shape as number 4.

Answer 15

8 is not a rhombus because not all sides are the same length.

Answer 16

What were your answers for k?

Answer 17

i just had 8 for now

Answer 18

@directrix to my knowledge it meant congruent, but it definitely doesn't look that way

Answer 19

8 is definitely a kite, but there are at least three others in your list (4 if number 3 actually has congruent sides). Can you take a guess as to what some of the others are.

Answer 20

so why wouldn't e.) be 5?

Answer 21

My bad. It would be 5. I read "but not a quadrilateral."

Answer 22

ok, thanks for k.) could it be 4, 6, 8, 10 ??

Answer 23

In Geometry, we do not "eyeball quantitativ"e properties of figures. I was wondering if the ticks meant something else in your text. I am about to compare my answers with yours.

This question is poorly written by its author. That is the primary reason it is so confusing. A phrase such as "a square but not a rectangle" crazes a person who knows that every square IS a rectangle.

Answer 24

I agree directrix, I took this straight from the book, picture is also straight from the book

Answer 25

You're very close bmar. However, 10 is not a kite since AD\(\neq\)CD. There's one more you're missing.

Answer 26

your right! oops, I am going to say 4, 6, 8, 9

Answer 27

Correct!

Answer 28

lol, thanks!

Answer 29

ok so you think g.) and h.) should be none ad j.) should be 3,4,6 ?

Answer 30

for g and h, all squares are trapezoids and rectangles (I can offer a more detailed explanation of why if you want), and j should be 3, 4, 6 because those are the only quadrilaterals marked with equal side lengths.

Answer 31

you can, I'm sure anything would be more helpful then the book I have. It's an online course so trust me it isn't fun

Answer 32

Attempting to think like the person who wrote the questions:
Working list of answers.
Figure #
1. A, B
2. C
3. D
4. D, I
5. E
6. H
7. F
8. K
9. K
10. Unnamed in list

Answer 33

Those are never too fun.

Anyways, to be a rectangle, the shape need to be a quadrilateral with 4 right angles. A square is a rectangle where all the sides are of equal length.

To be a trapezoid, a shape needs to be a quadrilateral, and a pair of opposite sides need to be parallel. A square is a trapezoid with both pairs of sides parallel and equal side lengths.
