Quadrilateral True or False Facts

Quadrilateral True or False Facts

• Not all rectangles are squares; only those that meet specific criteria are classified as squares.
• Every four-sided polygon qualifies as a quadrilateral, irrespective of its angles or side lengths.
• All squares are considered rectangles since they adhere to the rectangle's definitions (four right angles).
• Not all rhombi are squares; squares have additional properties that rhombi may not possess.
• Parallelograms do not necessarily have to be rectangles; they can have non-right angles.
• Every rectangle falls under the category of quadrilaterals as it has four sides.
• A trapezoid, defined as having one pair of parallel sides, is distinct from other quadrilaterals.
• A quadrilateral with two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel is identified as a parallelogram.
• A rhombus must always have four sides of equal length (congruent sides).
• Rectangles are defined by having four right angles but do not require congruent sides.
• In a parallelogram, the base and height are perpendicular, establishing a right angle.
• Both squares and rectangles possess four congruent angles (all right angles).
• A trapezoid features two bases that run parallel to one another, defining its structure.
• A rhombus does not require four congruent angles, unlike squares that do.
• Any figure with four sides is classified as a quadrilateral, not a pentagon, which has five sides.
