Properties and Classifications of Quadrilaterals

The video tutorial covers the classification of quadrilaterals, including parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, squares, and trapezoids. It explains the properties that define each type and how they fit into a classification tree. The tutorial emphasizes identifying and naming quadrilaterals based on their properties, such as parallel sides and right angles.

Which of the following is a characteristic of a parallelogram?

• It has four right angles

• Only one pair of opposite sides are parallel

• Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel

• All sides are equal

What distinguishes a rectangle from other parallelograms?

• It has no right angles

• All sides are equal

• It has four right angles

• Only one pair of sides are parallel

Which quadrilateral has all sides equal and all angles equal?

• Rectangle

• Rhombus

• Square

• Trapezoid

Which of the following is NOT a property of a square?

• All sides are equal

• It is a type of rectangle

• All angles are right angles

• Only one pair of sides are parallel

How many pairs of parallel sides does a trapezoid have?

• Three pairs

• No pairs

• One pair

• Two pairs

In the classification tree of quadrilaterals, what is a special type of parallelogram?

• Rectangle

• Circle

• Trapezoid

• Triangle

What is the defining property of a rhombus?

• It has no equal sides

• All sides are equal

• Only one pair of sides are parallel

• All angles are right angles

If a quadrilateral has two pairs of parallel sides and four right angles, what is it?

• Square

• Trapezoid

• Rectangle

• Rhombus

What is the best classification for a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides but not all sides equal?

• Parallelogram

• Square

• Rectangle

• Rhombus

What is the most specific classification for a quadrilateral with four right angles and unequal sides?

• Rhombus

• Rectangle

• Trapezoid

• Square
