square

200

Parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle and square share what characteristics. Name 2 charcteristics

4 sides 2 pairs of parallel sides (opposite) congruent opposite sides

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

False

300

Daily Double (DOUBLE THE POINTS LISTED BELOW!) What is the difference between a trapezoid and a parallelogram? 

Although they are both quadrilaterals a trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides and a parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel sides. 

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
