Question

answer the questions about the figures below. (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 definitions

A square has four equal - length sides and four right angles. A rectangle has four right angles and opposite sides are equal. A parallelogram has opposite sides parallel.

Step2: Analyze Figure A

Figure A has four equal - length sides ($3$ cm each) and four right angles. So it is a square, a rectangle, and a parallelogram.

Step3: Analyze Figure B

Figure B has opposite sides equal ($2$ cm and $3$ cm sides) and four right angles. So it is a rectangle and a parallelogram, but not a square.

Step4: Analyze Figure C

Figure C has no right angles and is a trapezoid (a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides), so it is not a square, rectangle, or parallelogram.

Answer:

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