I have no clue

lol well ik tht the second phrase isn't always true. a quad. that has four right angles can be a square, not always a rextangle.

ok

ohoh I found the answer!! :D its B. because its the only one that makes sense! ok look at ur answer choices: (a). If a quadrilateral has four right angles, then it is a square. not true bcuz the quad can be a rectangle. (b). If a quadrilateral is a rectangle, then it has four right angles. true bcuz rectangles hav ONLY four right angles (c). If a quadrilateral is a square, then it is a rectangle. not true bcuz a rectangle has two longer sides unlike the all-equal-side square (d). If a rectangle is a quadrilateral, then it has four right angles. A rectangle is always a quaderlateral, it has four side so there is no if.
