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 kite. She changed a rectangle to a trapezoid. She changed a rhombus to a parallelogram.
If the 4 angles of a quadrilateral are congruent, and a quadrilateral's angles add up to 360, what type of angles are they?
right
Ok. What type of quadrilateral has all right angles? Rhombus, parallelogram, or rectangle?
rectangle
Alright. The original figure was a rectangle. That narrows it down to A or C. A parallelogram has opposite angles congruent, so that would mean that it has 2 pairs congruent. That means that it would be A. :)
could it be a trapizoid
No. A trapezoid doesn't have to have any angles congruent. The only way it would be a trapezoid is if it said isosceles trapezoid.
