Question

Compare properties of squares and rhombi to properties of other quadrilaterals by answering each question. Write a brief explanation for each answer.
(a) Describe a property of squares that is also a property of rectangles.
(b) Describe a property of squares that is not a property of rectangles.
(c) Describe a property of rhombi that is also a property of parallelograms.
(d) Describe a property of rhombi that is not a property of parallelograms

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) both are quadrilaterals with two sets of congruent sides.

(b)  A square has 4 sides that are all congruent, so it is 1 set of congruent sides. A rectangle has 2 sets of congruent sides, 1 for the length, and 1 for the width.

(c). both have two sets of parallel sides.

(d). A rhombus has 4 equal sides, while a parallelogram has 2 = lengths and 2 = widths.

Step-by-step explanation:

i just did the test and i also checked over the answers. hope this helps!

have a great day :)

Answer 2

(a) They are both quadrilaterals with two sets of congruent sides.
(b)  A square has 1 set of congruent sides and that includes all 4 sides. A rectangle has 2 sets of congruent sides, 1 for the length sides, and 1 for the width sides.
(c). They both have two sets of parallel sides.
(d). A rhombi has 4 equal sides, while a parallelogram has 2 equal lengths and 2 equal widths.
