Chapter 6: Parallelogram Trivia Questions!
In chapter six of our maths class, we got to learn about the parallelogram. This special shape has two pairs of the parallel side that mirror each other. Each diagonal of a parallelogram separates it into two congruent triangles. We have prepared the quiz to see just how much you got to understand. Do give it a try and refresh your understanding.

Determine whether the figure is a parallelogram. P(-5,1), S(-2,2), F(-1,-3), T(2,-2) Fill in the answer with yes or no. Graph and show work on paper to hand in to support your answer.
Explanation
The given answer "YES" is correct because a parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are parallel. To determine if the figure is a parallelogram, we can calculate the slopes of the sides. The slope of PS is (2-1)/(-2-(-5)) = 1/3. The slope of FT is (-2-(-3))/(2-(-1)) = 1/3. Since the slopes of PS and FT are equal, the opposite sides are parallel, confirming that the figure is a parallelogram.Rate this question:

Determine whether each quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Justify your answer.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The given answer is "True" because the question asks to determine whether each quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Since the question does not provide any specific quadrilaterals to analyze, it can be assumed that the answer applies to all quadrilaterals in general. In geometry, a parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. Therefore, any quadrilateral that satisfies this condition can be considered a parallelogram, making the answer "True".Rate this question:

Determine whether each quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Justify your answer.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The given answer is False because in order for a quadrilateral to be a parallelogram, both pairs of opposite sides must be parallel. However, the question does not provide any information or characteristics about the quadrilaterals, making it impossible to determine if they are parallelograms or not. Therefore, the answer cannot be determined and is false.Rate this question:

Parallelogram
- C.
Postulate

Quadrilateral
Correct Answer
C. PostulateExplanation
A postulate is a statement that is assumed to be true without proof. In this context, it can be inferred that the given terms - parallel, parallelogram, altitude, and quadrilateral - are all related to a postulate. The postulate may provide a basis for understanding the properties and relationships of these geometric figures.Rate this question:

Quadrilateral
Correct Answer
E. QuadrilateralExplanation
A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides. It is a general term used to describe any four-sided figure. This includes shapes like squares, rectangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids. Therefore, the given answer "Quadrilateral" is correct because it encompasses all possible four-sided polygons.Rate this question:

Quadrilateral
Correct Answer
D. AltitudeExplanation
An altitude of a triangle is a line segment drawn from a vertex of the triangle to the opposite side, such that it is perpendicular to that side. In this context, the given segment is described as being perpendicular to the opposite side, which aligns with the definition of an altitude. Therefore, the correct answer is "Altitude".Rate this question:

Quadrilateral
Correct Answer
B. ParallelogramExplanation
A figure with 4 sides whose opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram. In a parallelogram, the opposite sides are equal in length and the opposite angles are equal in measure. This geometric shape has many properties, such as the diagonals bisecting each other and the consecutive angles being supplementary. Therefore, the correct answer is parallelogram.Rate this question:

Lines that will never intersect.
- A.
Parallel
- B.
Parallelogram
- C.
Postulate
- D.
Altitude
- E.
Quadrilateral
Correct Answer
A. ParallelExplanation
Parallel lines are lines that never intersect, meaning they are always the same distance apart and will never cross each other. This is the only term in the given options that accurately describes lines that will never intersect. Parallelogram, postulate, altitude, and quadrilateral do not specifically refer to lines that will never intersect.Rate this question:
