Draw a convex quadrilateral in which both pairs of opposite sides are parallel, one pair sides measures 4cm each, and the other pair measures 3cm each. The interior angles of the quadrilateral measure 90 each. What figure did you draw?

Draw a line segment connecting vertices F and H and another line segment connecting vertices G and I. What do you call these lines segments? Label the point of intersection of these segments as point J.

measure segment GI and segment FH. What did you observe? Measure GJ and IJ, and FJ, and HJ.

When you have a convex quadrilateral, where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel, you have a parallelogram, right?

anonymous · Answer

And when a paralleogram's corners are 90 degrees (right), you have a rectangle

anonymous · Answer

When all the sides of your rectangle have the same length, you have a square...
BUT one pair of sides measures 4cm, the other pair, 3cm, so this is no square... just a rectangle.
