Judging by appearance, classify the figure in as many ways as possible using rectangle, square, quadrilateral, parallelogram, rhombus. another question i got wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its is a parallelogram that is what i judged

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but ma am says

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are the rules that define each geometric polygon that are applicable to the given figure? There is another figure this could be.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i think the answer could be this

Rectangles have a couple of properties that help distinguish them from other parallelograms. By studying these properties, we will be able to differentiate between various types of parallelograms and classify them more specifically. Keep in mind that all of the figures in this section share properties of parallelograms. That is, they all have (1) opposite sides that are parallel, (2) opposite angles that are congruent, (3) opposite sides that are congruent, (4) consecutive angles that are supplementary, and (5) diagonals that bisect each other. Now, let’s look at the properties that make rectangles a special type of parallelogram. (1) All four angles of a rectangle are right angles. (2) The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent. Rhombuses Definition: A rhombus is a quadrilateral with four congruent sides. Similar to the definition of a rectangle, we could have used the word “parallelogram” instead of “quadrilateral” in our definition of rhombus. Thus, rhombuses have all of the properties of parallelograms (stated above), along with a few others. Let’s look at these properties. (1) Consecutive sides of a rhombus are congruent. (2) The diagonals of a rhombus bisect pairs of opposite angles. (3) The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular. Squares Definition: A square is a parallelogram with four congruent sides and four congruent angles. Notice that the definition of a square is a combination of the definitions of a rectangle and a rhombus. Therefore, a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus, which means that the properties of parallelograms, rectangles, and rhombuses all apply to squares. Because squares have a combination of all of these different properties, it is a very specific type of quadrilateral. Look at the hierarchy of quadrilaterals below. This figure shows the progression of our knowledge of polygons, beginning with quadrilaterals, and ending with squares

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

are those sides tha same length?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no length given just the picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It certainly looks like a parallelogram... trouble is... rectangles, rhombi, and squares are also parallelograms :D

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

they look the same length to me |dw:1364737918688:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Definitely no rectangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is what i have given the reason for

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

|dw:1364738072784:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The diagonals don't seem to be perpendicular.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my teacher has confirmed that it is parallelogram

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but there is one more polygon it resembles

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

just look at it, the sides are all the same length and the diagonal are perpendicular.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

the shape fits the definition of three of the mentioned shapes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i concluded that diagram resembles to rhombus square and parallelogram

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

hmm, it's not a square, because it dosent have right angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so parallelogram and rhombus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because right angle is present in rectangle and square
