Understand the Problem

The question is asking which of the given shapes is a parallelogram but not a rhombus. This involves identifying the properties of the shapes and distinguishing between parallelograms and rhombuses.

Answer

The blue shape.
Answer for screen readers

The shape that is a parallelogram but not a rhombus is the blue shape.

Steps to Solve

  1. Identify shapes Observe the shapes presented in the question. The goal is to find a shape that meets the criteria of being a parallelogram but not a rhombus.

  2. Understand properties of parallelograms and rhombuses A parallelogram has opposite sides that are equal and parallel, and its opposite angles are equal. A rhombus is a specific type of parallelogram where all sides are equal in length.

  3. Evaluate each shape based on criteria

  • Check each shape:
    • Is it a parallelogram?
    • Does it have equal-length sides (to determine if it's a rhombus)?
  1. Eliminate shapes based on properties Remove any shapes that are either not parallelograms or that are rhombuses (where all sides are equal).

  2. Select the correct shape Identify the shape that fulfills the requirement of being a parallelogram that is not a rhombus.

The shape that is a parallelogram but not a rhombus is the blue shape.

More Information

A parallelogram can have opposite sides equal while the adjacent sides are of different lengths, distinguishing it from a rhombus where all sides must be equal.

Tips

  • Confusing a rhombus with a parallelogram: Remember, a rhombus is a specific type of parallelogram with equal sides.
  • Overlooking the properties of the shapes: Make sure to check every property of the shapes before finalizing your answer.
