Question

what quadrilaterals can you draw that have two sides with length 3 cm and two sides with length 7 cm?
which of these quadrilaterals can have two sides with length 3 cm and two sides with length 7 cm? select all that apply.
□ a. square
□ b. parallelogram
□ c. trapezoid
□ d. rectangle

Explanation:

• A square has 4 equal sides, so it cannot have two sides of 3 cm and two of 7 cm.
• A parallelogram has two pairs of equal opposite sides, so it can have one pair 3 cm and the other 7 cm.
• A trapezoid has at least one pair of parallel sides; it can have two sides of 3 cm and two of 7 cm (e.g., a non-isosceles trapezoid with one base 7 cm, the other base 3 cm, and the legs 3 cm and 7 cm, or an isosceles trapezoid with bases 3 cm and 7 cm and legs of equal length does not fit, but non-isosceles does).
• A rectangle is a type of parallelogram with four right angles, so it can have two pairs of sides: 3 cm and 7 cm.

Answer:

B. Parallelogram, C. Trapezoid, D. Rectangle
