Which of these shapes are parallelograms? Choose ALL the correct answers.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which of the illustrated shapes are parallelograms, and requires identifying all correct answers among the options shown.
Answer
The shapes that are parallelograms are the rectangle and the rhombus.
Answer for screen readers
The shapes that are parallelograms are the bottom left shape (rectangle) and the bottom right shape (rhombus).
Steps to Solve
-
Identify the characteristics of a parallelogram
A parallelogram is defined as a four-sided shape (quadrilateral) where opposite sides are parallel and equal in length, and opposite angles are equal. -
Analyze the top left shape
This shape appears to be a triangle because it has three sides. Therefore, it is not a parallelogram. -
Analyze the top right shape
This shape resembles a trapezoid with one pair of parallel sides and has two non-parallel sides. Thus, it is not a parallelogram. -
Analyze the bottom left shape
This is a rectangle, which is a type of parallelogram because it has opposite sides that are both equal and parallel. Therefore, this shape is a parallelogram. -
Analyze the bottom right shape
This shape appears to be a rhombus, which is also a type of parallelogram because all its sides are equal, and opposite sides are parallel. Therefore, this shape is a parallelogram.
The shapes that are parallelograms are the bottom left shape (rectangle) and the bottom right shape (rhombus).
More Information
Parallelograms include various types of quadrilaterals such as rectangles, rhombuses, and squares. Each of these shapes satisfies the property of having opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length.
