Answer for screen readers
quadrilateral
parallelogram
Steps to Solve
- Check if it's a quadrilateral
A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides. The given shape has four sides, so it is a quadrilateral.
- Check if it's a parallelogram
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The given shape appears to have one pair of parallel sides. To appear as a parallelogram, both pairs of opposite sides must be parallel. In the image provided, there is not another pair of parallel lines for the provided quadrilateral, so it is not a parallelogram.
- Check if it's a rhombus
A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all four sides equal in length. Since the shape is not a parallelogram, it cannot be a rhombus because one condition of being a rhombus is that it is a parallelogram.
- Check if it's a kite
A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length. Based on the image, there is no indication that there are two pairs of sides, so it is not a kite.
