Question

figure a: 6 cm, 3 cm, 6 cm, 3 cm; figure b: 5 cm, 5 cm, 5 cm, 5 cm; figure c: 4 cm, 6 cm, 4 cm, 6 cm. (a) which figures are rectangles? mark all that apply. figure a, figure b, figure c, none of the figures. (b) which figures are parallelograms? mark all that apply. figure a, figure b, figure c, none of the figures. (c) which figures are squares? mark all that apply. figure a, figure b, figure c, none of the figures.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rectangle definition

A rectangle has four right - angles and opposite sides are equal. Figure B and Figure C have four right - angles and opposite sides equal. Figure A is a parallelogram without right - angles.

Step2: Recall parallelogram definition

A parallelogram has opposite sides parallel and equal. Figure A, Figure B, and Figure C all have opposite sides parallel and equal.

Step3: Recall square definition

A square has four equal sides and four right - angles. Only Figure B has four equal sides and four right - angles.

Answer:

(a) Figure B, Figure C
(b) Figure A, Figure B, Figure C
(c) Figure B
