Which figure must be a square? A. a quadrilateral with congruent sides B. a parallelogram with four congruent sides C. a rhombus with four right angles D. a quadrilateral with four right angles Help Please
A square is equilateral and equiangular. So, all the sides are the same AND all the angles are the same. Because the sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360, each angle of the square has to be a right angle.
@l_o_w_key Wrong and do not give direct answers on OpenStudy
@l_o_w_key OpenStudy values the Learning process - not the ‘Give you an answer’ process' Don’t post only answers - guide the asker to a solution. http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct
Based on that info, what do you think is the answer to your question @Awolflover1
I think D
Option D is not correct.
Option D has 4 right angles. But, you also must have 4 sides which are the same. Look again at the options.
a rectangle?
No. A rectangle has right angles but does not have congruent sides unless it is also a square.
Go to this link and read about the sides of a rhombus: http://www.mathwords.com/r/rhombus.htm
A rhombus has 4 congruent sides
Yes.
So, what if the rhombus had 4 right angles? Would it be a square?
No?
Yes, it would. Because as you said, the rhombus has 4 sides the same. So, if it had right angles, then it would be equiangular and equilateral which would make it a square.
So, which option?
C
Correct.
thank you I get it now :)
You are welcome.
see ur learning :D
