Ye Li drew a quadrilateral that is both a rectangle and a rhombus. Name the quadrilateral and describe it using the properties of sides and angles.

Respuesta :

First, let's look at the properties of the geometric terms you were given.

Quadrilateral - a four-sided figure
Rectangle - four sides, two pairs of opposite sides are parallel, four right angles
Rhombus - four sides, two pairs of opposite sides are parallel, all sides equal

So we're looking for a shape that has four sides that are all equal, has two pairs of parallel sides, and has four right angles. The shape that fits what Ye Li drew is a square. Squares have two pairs of parallel sides (like a rhombus and rectangle), four right angles (like rectangles), and four sides that are equal (like a rhombus). A square is both a rectangle and a rhombus.
 he drew a scalene triangle. A scalene triangle is where all side measure and all angle measure are different.
