Are trapezoids retangles?
No, trapezoids are not rectangles. While both shapes have four sides, rectangles have opposite sides that are equal in length and all interior angles are right angles, whereas trapezoids have only one pair of opposite sides that are parallel.
What shape has two parallel opposite sides but is not a parallelogram?
There are an infinite number of shapes that have two or more parallel opposite sides - any even-numbered polygon (hexagons, octagons, decagons, and so on).A quadrilateral with only 1 set of parallel sides is a trapezoid (UK trapezium).A parallelogram has two sets of parallel opposite sides. These would include rhombi and rectangles (and the special case of rectangles which are squares).
How many parallel sides does a parallelogram have?
in geometry i learned a parallelogram has only 2 pairs of parallel sides each pair of opposite sides is parallel
What figure has only one set of opposite sides that are parallel?
A trapezoid has one and only one set of opposite sides that are parallel. The other pair of opposite sides are not parallel.
Are trapezoids rectangles?
Trapezoids are never rectangles because, by definition a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides, and at most one right angle. A rectangle has two pairs of parallel sides and four right angles.
What makes a rectangle and a squarea llike and what makes them different?
Rectangles and squares are alike in that both pairs of their opposite sides are parallel and their inner corners are all 90-degree angles; they are different in that squares have equal lengths on all sides, and only rectangles' opposite sides are the same lengths.
What DON'T rectangles and trapezoids have in common?
Trapezoids have only two sides parallel; rectangles have all four opposing sides parallel. Also, rectangles have 4 right angles, which is more than a trapezoid can have.
What quadrilateral always has only 1 pair of parallel sides?
Squares, rectangles, parallelograms and rhombuses have 2 pairs of parallel sides. The trapezoid has only 1 pair of parallel sides.
What quadrilaterals have two parallel sides'?
Squares, rectangles, parallelograms and rhombuses have two parallel sides. The other two are also parallel. A trapezium has only two parallel sides.
If the opposite sides of a quadrilateralare parallel then what is it?
A parallelogram or possibly a trapezium if only one pair of opposite sides are parallel.
Do parallelograms have only one pair of opposite sides parallel?
No. In a parallelogram, both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
Do all rectangles have 4 congrent sides?
No. Usually only opposite sides are congruent.
