Understand the Problem

The question asks to identify which terms correctly describe a given shape, specifically a quadrilateral, and to select all applicable terms from the options provided.

Answer

Rhombus, Parallelogram
Answer for screen readers

The correct terms that describe this shape are: rhombus and parallelogram.

Steps to Solve

  1. Identify the shape This shape is a quadrilateral, meaning it has four sides.

  2. Determine the properties A rhombus has all sides equal in length, opposite angles are equal, and diagonals bisect each other at right angles.

  3. Identify specific terms Check each option:

    • Rhombus: Yes, it has all sides equal.
    • Rectangle: No, a rectangle requires right angles, which this shape does not exhibit.
    • Parallelogram: Yes, both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
    • Square: No, while a square is a type of rhombus, it also needs to have all right angles.
  4. List applicable terms The applicable terms for this shape based on the analysis are rhombus and parallelogram.

The correct terms that describe this shape are: rhombus and parallelogram.

More Information

Both rhombuses and parallelograms share the property of having opposite sides that are equal and parallel. A rhombus specifically has the added requirement of all sides being equal, while a parallelogram does not necessitate equal side lengths.

Tips

  • Confusing a rectangle with a rhombus due to the shape's angles. Remember, rectangles have right angles while rhombuses do not.
  • Assuming all quadrilaterals can be classified under rectangles or squares without checking their specific properties.
