Rectangles, Squares, Parallelograms, Rhombus

Choose the correct statement.

• A rectangle is always a kite, because it has 4 right angles.

• A square is always a rhombus because i has 4 equal sides.

• A square is always a rectangle because it has 4 right angles.

• A square is a trapezoid, because it has 4 equal sides.

True or False: A four sided figure with four equal sides is always a quadrilateral and a rhombus but not always a rectangle.

• True

• False

Which explanation is correct?

• All squares are rhombuses. Rhombuses have 4 equal sides. Therefore, all squares have 4 equal sides.

• Only some rhombuses are parallelograms. Parallelograms have two pairs of parallel sides. Therefore, only some rhombuses have two pairs of parallel sides.

• All rhombuses are parallelograms. Parallelograms have 2 pairs of parallel sides. Therefore, all rhombuses have 2 pairs of parallel sides.

Which figures have 2 pairs of parallel sides?

• rhombus

• kite

• rectangle

True of False: All parallelograms have two sets of congruent sides and rhombuses are parallelograms, so all rhombuses have 2 sets of congruent sides.

• True

• False

These figures always have right angles. Select the figures.

• rectangle

• square

• quadrilateral

• rhombus

• parallelogram

A rhombus is a quadrilateral, parallelogram and a kite.

• Always

• Sometimes

• Never

Which statement explains why a rectangle is a parallelogram?

• They both are rhombuses.

• They are both quadrilaterals.

• They both have two pairs of parallel sides.

• They are both quadrilaterals with four right angles.
