How to explain why a trapezoid is a quadrilateral but a quadrilateral is not always a trapezoid

Mathematics

Alex787 [66]3 years ago

A quadrilateral is any figure with 4 sides, no matter what the lengths of
the sides or the sizes of the angles are ... just as long as it has four straight
sides that meet and close it up.

Once you start imposing some special requirements on the lengths of
the sides,  or their relationship to each other, or the size of the angles,
you start making special kinds of quadrilaterals, that have special names.

The simplest requirement of all is that there must be one pair of sides that
are parallel to each other.  That makes a quadrilateral called a 'trapezoid'.
That's why a quadrilateral is not always a trapezoid.

Here are some other, more strict requirements, that make other special
quadrilaterals:

-- Two pairs of parallel sides . . . . 'parallelogram'

-- Two pairs of parallel sides
AND all angles the same size . . . . 'rectangle'
           (also a special kind of parallelogram)

-- Two pairs of parallel sides
AND all sides the same length . . . 'rhombus'
           (also a special kind of parallelogram)

-- Two pairs of parallel sides
AND all sides the same length
AND all angles the same size . . . . 'square'.
           (also a special kind of parallelogram, rectangle, and rhombus)

How many ounces are in 8lb and 3 ounces
valentinak56 [21]
Hi there!

Simple conversion will greatly help us here. Below I'll list some common conversions for pounds and ounces.

16 ounces = 1 pound
32 ounces = 2 pounds

These will greatly aid us in finding how many ounces are in 3lb and 3 ounces. If we know that 2 pounds = 32 ounces then we know that by multiplying that by 4 we'll get how many ounces 8lb is.

32 ounces * 4 = 128 ounces.

However, we're not done there! There are also a leftover 3 ounces meaning once we add that to our 128 ounces we'll get our final answer.

3 ounces + 128 ounces = 8lb and 3 ounces.
131 ounces = 8lb and 3 ounces.

And that's our final answer. :)
