Question

1. which of the following shapes is not a parallelogram?

kite
rectangle
rhombus
square

Explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. A rectangle has opposite sides parallel and equal, a rhombus has all sides equal and opposite sides parallel, a square (a special case of rectangle and rhombus) has opposite sides parallel. A kite has two pairs of adjacent sides equal, but not all opposite sides are parallel (in general, only one pair of opposite angles are equal and the diagonals are perpendicular, but opposite sides aren't parallel). So a kite is not a parallelogram.

Answer:

A. Kite
