What is a shape that is a quadrilateral and is not a parallelogram?
A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of parallel sides (i.e. the sides opposite each other are parallel). A rectangle, for example, is a parallelogram. A trapezoid, however, is an example of a quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram - it has four sides, but only two of them are parallel to each other.
Select one attribute that describes the quadrilateral. A. Only one pair of opposite sides are parallel. B. There are no right angles. C. Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent and parallel. D. All sides are an equal length?
C. Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent and parallel.
What is a four-sided polygon with one pair of parallel sides and the opposite sides are congruent?
A four-sided shape is a quadrilateral. With only one pair of parallel sides, it would be called a trapezoid (UK trapezium).
What is a four sided plane figure with parallel opposite sides?
A quadrilateral (four-sided shape) is a parallelogram if it has two sets of parallel sides. If it has only one set, it is a trapezoid, also known as a trapezium.
Why is a parallelogram not the same type of quadrilateral as a trapezoid?
Well that's easy. A parallelogram has two pairs of OPPOSITE SIDES. A trapezoid only has one pair of parallel sides.
What is a quadrilateral with only two pair of opposite sides parallel?
I would be seriously concerned if a quadrilateral had more than two pairs of opposite sides parallel! A quadrilateral with two pairs of opposite sides parallel is a parallelogram.
Does a quadrilateral have opposite sides that are parallel?
Only if it is a trapezoid (US usage) with one set of parallel sides, or a parallelogram with both sets of opposite sides parallel. The term quadrilateral only means that the shape has 4 sides.
Does a paralleogram have to hava both parallel and perpendicular sides?
No. The only conditions to quality as a parallelogram is that it is a quadrilateral, and that opposite sides are parallel.
What kind of quadrilateral has only one pair of opposite sides parallel?
A trapezoid.
What quadrilateral has one pair of opposite sides that are parallel?
The trapezoid (UK trapezium) has only 1 pair of unequal parallel sides.
What is a quadrilateral having opposite sides that are parallel?
A quadrilateral having only one pair of parallel sides is called a trapezoid (UK trapezium).A quadrilateral having two pair of parallel sides is a parallelogram (a square, a rectangle, a rhombus, or a two-dimensional rhomboid).
What is a shape that is a quadrilateral and is not a parallelogram?

If one side of a quadrilateral is congruent to its opposite side then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram?
No, it doesn't have to be. A quadrilateral can definitely be a parallelogram only if: - Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. - Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent. - One pair of opposite sides are both congruent and parallel. - Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent. - The diagonals bisect each other.
A quadrilateral with only 1 pair of opposite sides are parallel and the other pair of opposite side congruent is a?

What is the name of the Quadilateral with only 2 parallel lines?
