Question

Please help :)
which statement is true?
a.) all quadrilaterals are polygons with two pairs of parallel sides
b.) all quadrilaterals are polygons with four sides
c.) all quadrilaterals are polygons with at least one pair of parallel sides
d.) all quadrilaterals are polygons with four sides and at least one pair of parallel sides

Answer 1

a.) all quadrilaterals are polygons with two pairs of parallel sides

this is false because it's possible to draw something with 4 sides and one set of parallel lines (trapezoid) or no sets of parallel sides

Answer 2

that word "para" is supposed to say "parallel"

do you agree so far @Jordanmaloney1000 ?

Answer 3

yes i do :)

Answer 4

how about b? does that sound true or false? why?

Answer 5

its false if it has four sides it would be parallel so b would be false
right?not really good at this lol

Answer 6

If something is a `quadrilateral`, then what do you know about it?

Answer 7

it doesnt have parallel sides

Answer 8

okay im wrong a parallelogram is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel

Answer 9

it's just any 4 sided shape right? by "4 sided" I mean "4 line segments"

Answer 10

it would be c?

Answer 11

quad = 4

Answer 12

so it would be be the all quadrilaterals are polygons with four sides

Answer 13

so what I'm trying to say is that `b.) all quadrilaterals are polygons with four sides` is a true statement

if it has 4 sides, then it's a quadrilateral

Answer 14

`all quadrilaterals are polygons with four sides`
yes correct

Answer 15

alrighty i understand now sorry for all the trouble

Answer 16

no problem
