Which of the given statements is correct? Justify your answer/s with examples.
A ) A square and a parallelogram are quadrilaterals.
B ) Opposite sides of a square and a parallelogram are parallel.
C ) A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides.
D ) All the above
Based on the above conversation discuss, with examples and justification whether the following statement is justified.
'A square is a rhombus but a rhombus is not a square'.
I believe that this statement is true. A rhombus is a figure that has opposite sides that are parallel to each other. A square happens to fall in that category. However a square must have all internal angles at 90 degrees before it can be called a square. However, not all rhombuses have 90 degree corners, so not all rhombuses can be a square.
Question 2:
Which of the given statements is correct? Justify your answer/s with examples.
A ) A square and a parallelogram are quadrilaterals.
B ) Opposite sides of a square and a parallelogram are parallel.
C ) A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides.
D ) All the above
The correct statements are: D
A is correct as both the square and the parallelogram have 4 sides, and a quadrilateral figure has 4 sides. Thus, this statement is correct.
B is also correct as it is a fact that the opposite sides of a square and parallelogram are parallel.
C is also correct as it is also a fact that a trapezoid has a pair of parallel sides.
Since all the statements are correct the correct statement is D.
Question 3:
A quadrilateral is drawn on a piece of paper. It has one pair of opposite sides equal in length, the other pair not equal in length, and a pair of opposite angles that are supplementary1. Identify this figure, and justify your answer with reasons.
