Question!
Millie is using a software program that allows her to change the shape of a two-dimensional figure by making changes to the angles at vertices. She starts with a quadrilateral with all four angles congruent. She moves the vertices to make two pairs of congruent angles. Which statement best describes the figure that she created? She changed a rectangle to parallelogram. She changed a rhombus to a parallelogram. She changed a rhombus to a kite. She changed a rectangle to a trapezoid.

Let's break down what's going on here
"She starts with a quadrilateral with all four angles congruent." means she starts with a rectangle
since all rectangles have 4 congruent angles
then "She moves the vertices to make two pairs of congruent angles. " so she basically pairs off the opposite angles and makes each pair equal to one another (but NOT all four are equal -- eg: she might have a quadrilateral with angles of 60, 60, 40 and 40) If you draw this out, you'll see that you'll get a parallelogram
So "She changed a rectangle to parallelogram."
a?
oh yes, the answer is a), sry I got distracted for a second...
Thanks!
