Which terms describe this shape? Choose all that apply.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which geometric terms classify the given shape (a quadrilateral), and it provides multiple options to choose from, requiring the identification of applicable classifications.
Answer
Rectangle, parallelogram, kite.
Answer for screen readers
The shape can be classified as: rectangle, parallelogram, and kite.
Steps to Solve
- Identify the shape's properties
The given shape is a quadrilateral with two pairs of opposite sides marked as congruent. This means that each opposite pair has the same length.
- Check for rectangle properties
A rectangle has all angles equal to 90 degrees and opposite sides that are equal. If the opposite sides are indicated as congruent, it could potentially be a rectangle, depending on the angles.
- Determine if it is a parallelogram
A parallelogram has opposite sides that are both equal and parallel. Since the shape has congruent opposite sides, it qualifies as a parallelogram.
- Evaluate if it is a kite
A kite has two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal. The current shape does not fit that definition unless further details about side lengths are provided.
- Analyze potential isosceles trapezoid classification
An isosceles trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides and the other two sides that are congruent. Since this shape has no evidence of parallel sides and appears to be a rectangle, it does not qualify as an isosceles trapezoid.
- Final classification
Based on the properties analyzed, the shape can be classified as a rectangle, parallelogram, and kite, assuming angles support rectangle classification.
The shape can be classified as: rectangle, parallelogram, and kite.
More Information
A rectangle is a specific type of parallelogram where all angles are right angles. A parallelogram is defined by having opposite sides that are equal and parallel. A kite has pairs of equal adjacent sides but does not typically apply under the condition of both pairs of sides being equal as in this case.
