Quinn says that the figure is a rhombus, but Brooke disagrees. Who is correct and why?
Brooke is correct because the figure is a parallelogram. A rhombus ALWAYS has congruent (equal) sides and a parallelogram had 2 pairs of opposite equal sides.

What are the properties of a quadrilateral?
A quadrilateral has 4 sides and 4 angles.
True or False: A rectangle can be classified as a rhombus.
False, because a rectangle does not have congruent (equal) sides.
True or False: A trapezoid is also a parallelogram.
False: A trapezoid only has 1 pair of parallel sides and a parallelogram has 2 pairs.
What are the properties of a square? I'm looking for the most specific properties.
A square is a parallelogram with 4 congruent (equal) sides and 4 right angles.
Using a protractor, Jacob drew a triangle with all equal angles. What type of triangle did he draw? Use 2 names.

True or False: Every trapezoid is a quadrilateral.
True
Which describes BOTH triangles?
It is D because ALL triangles have at least 2 acute angles. It's the third angle that classifies or names it.
Triangles can be classified by the length of their ________ and the measure of their ________.

Classify this triangle by its sides and angles.
Isosceles, obtuse
Which color flags show only parallelograms?
red, blue, and orange
Why is a rectangle NEVER a square?
A rectangle does NOT have congruent (equal) sides.
True of False: A parallelogram is also a trapezoid.
True, because a parallelogram technically has at least one pair of parallel sides like a trapezoid.
True or False: Rhombuses are always parallelograms.
True, because rhombuses have 2 pairs of parallel sides.
