Question

paloma tells you she is thinking of a quadrilateral that is either a rectangle or a square but not both. she wants you to guess which quadrilateral she is thinking of and allows you to ask one question about the quadrilateral.
what question should you ask?

enter the answer in the space provided.

Explanation:

A square has all four sides equal in length, while a rectangle only requires opposite sides to be equal (its length and width can be different). A question targeting this key distinguishing feature will let you definitively tell which shape it is, since the shape is either a rectangle or square (not both).

Answer:

"Are all four sides of the quadrilateral equal in length?"
