About This Quiz


Are you familiar with polygons and quadrilaterals? Do you suppose you can take on this quiz? A quadrilateral is a polygon. It is a four-sided polygon, just like a triangle is a three-sided polygon. The five most commonplace quadrilaterals are the parallelogram, rectangle, square, trapezoid, and rhombus. Taking this quiz will put your knowledge about polygons and quadrilaterals to the test.

    What is the polygon above? - ProProfs

    What is the polygon above?

    • Pentagon

    • Triangle

    • Hexagon

    Correct Answer
    A. Hexagon
    Explanation
    The polygon above is a hexagon because it has six sides. A hexagon is a polygon with six straight sides and six angles.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 
    What is the above polygon? - ProProfs

    What is the above polygon?

    • Hexagon

    • Quadrilateral

    • Pentagon

    Correct Answer
    A. Pentagon
    Explanation
    The above polygon is a pentagon because it has five sides. A hexagon has six sides, and a quadrilateral has four sides. Therefore, pentagon is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 
    What is the above polygon? - ProProfs

    What is the above polygon?

    • Decagon

    • Heptagon

    • Nonagon

    Correct Answer
    A. Decagon
    Explanation
    The above polygon is a decagon because it has ten sides. A decagon is a polygon with ten straight sides and ten angles.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    A ___________________ has four right angles, opposite sides are parallel, and opposite sides are congruent.

    Correct Answer
    rectangle
    Explanation
    A rectangle is a quadrilateral that satisfies all the given conditions. It has four right angles, meaning each of its interior angles measures 90 degrees. The opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel, which means they never intersect. Additionally, the opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent, meaning they have the same length. Therefore, a rectangle is the correct answer to this question.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    A square is a rhombus.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A square is a rhombus because both shapes have four equal sides. While a square has four right angles, a rhombus has four equal angles that are not necessarily right angles. Therefore, all squares can be considered rhombuses, but not all rhombuses are squares.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    A trapezoid is a parallelogram.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A trapezoid is not a parallelogram because a parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides, while a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides. In a trapezoid, the other two sides are not parallel to each other. Therefore, the statement that a trapezoid is a parallelogram is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    A rectangle is a square.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A rectangle is not a square because although both shapes have four sides, a square has all sides of equal length, while a rectangle has opposite sides of equal length. Therefore, a square is a specific type of rectangle, but not all rectangles are squares.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    A ___________________ has exactly one pair of parallel sides.

    Correct Answer
    trapezoid
    Explanation
    A trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides. The other two sides are non-parallel and can be of different lengths. Therefore, a trapezoid fits the description of having exactly one pair of parallel sides.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    A square can be a rhombus and a rectangle.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A square can be a rhombus because a rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides of equal length. Since a square is a quadrilateral with all sides of equal length, it meets the criteria to be a rhombus. Additionally, a square can be a rectangle because a rectangle is a quadrilateral with all angles equal to 90 degrees. Since a square has all angles equal to 90 degrees, it also meets the criteria to be a rectangle. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    A ______________ has four congruent sides and opposite sides are parallel.

    Correct Answer
    quadrilateral
    Explanation
    A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides. When all four sides are congruent (equal in length) and opposite sides are parallel, it is classified as a rhombus. This geometric property distinguishes a rhombus from other quadrilaterals, making it a special type of parallelogram.
