Question

(a) which figures are squares? 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 rectangles? mark all that apply. figure a figure b figure c none of the figures

Explanation:

Step1: Recall square properties

A square has four equal - length sides and four right - angles. Figure A has four sides of length 2 cm and four right - angles, so it is a square. Figure B has two pairs of equal sides but not all sides are equal, so it is not a square. Figure C has two pairs of parallel sides but not all sides are equal and not all angles are right - angles, so it is not a square.

Step2: Recall parallelogram properties

A parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides. Figure A has two pairs of parallel sides, so it is a parallelogram. Figure B has two pairs of parallel sides, so it is a parallelogram. Figure C has two pairs of parallel sides, so it is a parallelogram.

Step3: Recall rectangle properties

A rectangle has four right - angles and two pairs of equal sides. Figure A has four right - angles and two pairs of equal sides, so it is a rectangle. Figure B has four right - angles and two pairs of equal sides, so it is a rectangle. Figure C does not have four right - angles, so it is not a rectangle.

Answer:

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