Question

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

A rectangle has four - right angles and opposite sides are equal. A square is a special rectangle with all sides equal. A parallelogram has opposite sides parallel and equal.

Step2: Analyze Figure A

Figure A has all sides equal ($5$ mm) and four - right angles. So it is a square and a rectangle and a parallelogram.

Step3: Analyze Figure B

Figure B has opposite sides equal ($6$ mm and $4$ mm) and parallel, but no right angles. It is a parallelogram.

Step4: Analyze Figure C

Figure C has four - right angles and opposite sides equal ($6$ mm and $4$ mm). It is a rectangle and a parallelogram.

Answer:

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