Quadrilateral True or False Facts

Study Notes

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.
