Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Recall square definition

A square has four equal - length sides and four right - angles. Figure A has side lengths of 3 ft each and four right - angles, so it is a square. Figures B and C do not have all sides equal and right - angles.

Step2: Recall rectangle definition

A rectangle has four right - angles and opposite sides are equal. Figure A is a special case of a rectangle (a square is a rectangle). Figure C has opposite sides equal (2 ft and 4 ft pairs), but we don't know if the angles are right - angles. Without right - angles information for C, we can only say Figure A is a rectangle.

Step3: Recall parallelogram definition

A parallelogram has opposite sides parallel and equal. Figure A has opposite sides parallel and equal. Figure C has opposite sides equal (2 ft and 4 ft pairs) and parallel. Figure B does not have opposite sides equal in a parallel - sided way.

Answer:

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