question 26 of 27
which of the following matches a quadrilateral with the characteristics listed below?

1. four right angles
2. both pairs of opposite sides parallel and congruent
3. all 4 sides not congruent

a. rectangle
b. square
c. parallelogram
d. rhombus

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option A (Rectangle):

• A rectangle has four right angles.
• Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
• In a non - square rectangle, all four sides are not congruent (length and width are different).

1. Analyze Option B (Square): A square has four right angles, both pairs of opposite sides parallel and congruent, but all four sides are congruent, so it does not meet the third characteristic.
2. Analyze Option C (Parallelogram): A general parallelogram does not necessarily have four right angles, so it does not meet the first characteristic.
3. Analyze Option D (Rhombus): A rhombus does not necessarily have four right angles, so it does not meet the first characteristic.

Answer:

A. Rectangle
