Question

(a) which figures are parallelograms? 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

Explanation:

Step1: Recall definitions

A parallelogram has two pairs of parallel - sides. A rectangle is a special parallelogram with four right - angles.

Step2: Analyze Figure A

Figure A has two pairs of parallel sides, so it is a parallelogram.

Step3: Analyze Figure B

Figure B does not have two pairs of parallel sides, so it is not a parallelogram.

Step4: Analyze Figure C

Figure C has two pairs of parallel sides and four right - angles, so it is a parallelogram (and also a rectangle).

Step5: Answer part (a)

The parallelograms are Figure A and Figure C.

Step6: Answer part (b)

The rectangles are Figure C (since a rectangle is a special parallelogram with four right - angles and Figure C meets this criterion, while Figure A does not have four right - angles).

Answer:

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