300

A rhombus has one pair of parallel lines. Always, sometimes or never?

Never

400

A square is always, sometimes or never a parallelogram?

Always, because opposite sides are congruent and opposite sides are parallel

500

3 triangles

300

Explain the four properties of a parallelogram. (Hint: 7-2)

Opposite sides are parallel. Opposite sides are congruent. Opposite interior angles are congruent. Consecutive angles are supplementary.

False

300

Daily Double (DOUBLE THE POINTS LISTED BELOW!) According to our defintions, a rectangle has congruent opposite sides, opposite parallel sides and 4 right angles. A square is also a rectangle.

True, squares share the same characteristics. Opposite sides are congruent, opposite sides are parallel and it has 4 right angles.

400

All trapezoids have one line of symmetry

False. Not always, if sides are different lengths, than no.

500

According to our definitions, a rectangle is also a square.

False. Although rectangles share the same characteristics as a square in terms of having 4 right angles, opposite sides parallel; rectangles do not have all sides being congruent i.e. 4 equal sides
