Question

Classify the figure in as many ways as possible.

A.rectangle; square; quadrilateral; parallelogram; rhombus
B. rectangle; square; parallelogram
C.rhombus; quadrilateral; parallelogram
D.square; rectangle; quadrilateral

Answer 1

Do you know what those terms mean?

Answer 2

I belive it is D did you look on google

Answer 3

Yes i do :)

Answer 4

A quadrilateral is a 4 sided polygon.
We can agree this is a quadrilateral.

Answer 5

what did it say do you even know the name of the shape

Answer 6

I can tell you that D is not the answer.

Answer 7

Ok

Answer 8

A quadrilateral with 4 congruent sides is a rhombus.
Is this a rhombus?

Answer 9

what grade are you in Tillie<3

Answer 10

oh well does any body know how to do 6th grade work?

Answer 11

@Tillie♥ You asked the question. Are you interested in an answer?

Answer 12

Yes im trying to figure out what it might be :)

Answer 13

@mathstudent55 would it be A?

Answer 14

@ Tillie<3 Do you know how to do 6th grade math

Answer 15

Ya Why?

Answer 16

nevermind

Answer 17

I'm not telling you which one it is. Instead, if you answer my questions, you'll get to the answer and you'll understand the answer.

Answer 18

Ok sorry umm yes

Answer 19

Look at the figure. You see the little mark on each side (not the triangles in 2 sides)?
What do they mean?

Answer 20

wht are thay

Answer 21

No need to apologize. Let's just continue.
So far we know it is a quadrilateral since it has 4 sides.

The little marks mean all sides are congruent. That means all sides have the same length.
A quadrilateral with 4 congruent sides is a rhombus.

Now we know this is a quadrilateral and a rhombus.

Answer 22

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel.

Answer 23

The mark for showing lines are parallel is a little triangle or a little arrow.

Answer 24

The picture is showing that the top side and the bottom side are parallel. That's why it has those little triangles on those sides.

Answer 25

Remember, the definition of a parallelogram is that it is a quadrilateral with both pairs of sides parallel. We only know that one pair of sides is parallel.

Answer 26

@mathstudent55 can you help me or no

Answer 27

There is a way of showing that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram with only one pair of sides known to be parallel. If one pair of sides is parallel and congruent, then it is a parallelogram.

Answer 28

In fact we know that. All sides are congruent, so the top and bottom sides are congruent. In addition, the top and bottom sides are also parallel, so this is a parallelogram.

Now we know this much:
Quadrilateral, rhombus, parallelogram

Answer 29

ok That make sense

Answer 30

Now let's deal with a rectangle. A rectangle is a parallelogram with 4 right angles. We are not told there are any right angles here, so we can't conclude this is a rectangle.

What about a square? A square is a parallelogram and a rhombus, but a square also needs 4 right angles. We don't have right angles here, so we can't conclude this is a square.

Answer 31

All we can conclude is what we already have:
Quadrilateral, rhombus, parallelogram

Answer 32

So it is C!

Answer 33

correct

Answer 34

Thank you so much for helping i understand better now :)
