What do you think? Are the diagonals equal?

Devum:

Well what characteristics do parallelograms have?

Shaypop:

Nope

Shaypop:

Is it no

Shaypop:

So it’s yes

AZ:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Shaypop So it’s yes \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) yes

Shaypop:

Yes or no

Devum:

Well um the diagonals have to be equal and the diagonals are 21 and 21 and 29 and 29 so are those equal?

Shaypop:

Add up to 100

AZ:

A parallelogram is a 4 sided shape that has two parallel sides

Devum:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Shaypop Add up to 100 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Huh- where did you get that from

AZ:

the diagonals don't have to be equal to each other BUT if they are equal to each other, then it's a rectangle

Shaypop:

So it’s yes

Devum:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @AZ the diagonals don't have to be equal to each other BUT if they are equal to each other, then it's a rectangle \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) which, in turn is a parallelogram

Shaypop:

What’s the answer

AZ:

yes, rectangle is a subset of a parallelogram which is a subset of rectangle

AZ:

does your figure have 4 sides and does it have two pairs of parallel sides?

Devum:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Shaypop What’s the answer \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) What do you think it is based on what we've said?

Shaypop:

Yes

AZ:

You got it

Devum:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Shaypop Yes \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Correct :)

Shaypop:

Is it

AZ:

it's yes

Devum:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Shaypop Is it \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Yes it is

AZ:

this 'yes' or 'no' answer choice just made it more confusing haha
