Submit
11.

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

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.

Submit
14. A square is a rhombus.

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.

Submit
15. A trapezoid is a parallelogram.

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.

Submit
16. A rectangle is a square.

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.

Submit
17. A ___________________ has exactly one pair of parallel sides.

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.

Submit
18. A square can be a rhombus and a rectangle.

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.

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

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.
