I am a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. What am I?
Trapezoid
I am a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. My opposite sides are also equal in length. What am I?
Parallelogram
True or False: Some kites are rhombuses?
Why
True: a rhombus needs 4 equal sides and a kite only needs 2 equal adjacent sides

True or False: A square is always a rhombus.
Why?
True; A square has 4 equal sides, which is the definition of a rhombus.
True or False: A trapezoid is always a parallelogram.
Why?
False: A parallelogram must have two pairs of parallel sides; a trapezoid only needs one.
True or False: All rhombuses are squares?
Why
False: They both must have 4 equal sides but a square must have 4 right angles

Use the area fraction model (fraction >1) to find the area of the rectangle 7 1/5 cm and a width of 8 5/6 cm.
63 3/5 cm2
True or false: All rhombi are rectangles
Why?
False; a rectangle needs two sets of parallel lines and 90 degree angles while a rhombus does not need to have right angles.
True or false: all rectangles are trapezoids?
Why?
True: A trapezoid needs 1 set of parallel sides and a rectangle has 2 sets.
