What type of quadrilateral has exactly one pair of parallel sides is it a parallelogram?

It is a trapezoid that has one pair of opposite parallel sides of different lengths whereas a parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides.


Which type of quadrilateral has two pairs of parallel sides and four congruent sides?

A rhombus.


Does a trapezoid have 4 right angles?

Not in general, but a more-specific answer depends on which definition of trapezoid (or trapezium, outside of North America) is used.Some mathematicians define a trapezoid as any four-sided figure with at least one pair of parallel sides. Using that definition, a figure with four right angles (square or rectangle) is a special type of trapezoid because it would necessarily have two sets of parallel sides.Others are more strict, using the name trapezoid only for four-sided figures with exactly one pair of parallel sides. By this definition a figure with two sets of parallel sides is not a trapezoid.


Is a square a type of rectangle?

All squares are rectangles but not all rectangle are squares. The definition of a rectangle is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides, and 4 right angles. A square meets both of these criteria, so it is categorized as a rectangle. But since a square has to have four even sides and a rectangle has to have two larger sides and two smaller sides it cannot be a square


Is a trapezium a type of polygon?

a trapezium is a quadrilateral with no parallel sides. it is a polygon because a plygon is any closed figure (three or more sides)

Name four polygons with four sides?

quadrilateral -- any such trapezoid- two parallel sides parallelogram : two pairs of parallel sides rectangle - special type of parallelogram with a right angle rhombus: parallelogram with two equal adjacent sides. square: a rectangle with two equal adjacent sides or a rhombus that is a rectangle.

No quadrant has parallel sides.


What shape has 2 sets of parallel sides has 4 right angels all sides are the same length what are the 3 names?

This shape is a square. A square is a type of rectangle, which is a type of parallelogram, which is a type of quadrilateral.


Are all quadrilaterals parallelagrams?

No. A quadrilateral is simply a geometric shape with four sides. A parallelogram is a specific type of quadrilateral that has two sets of of parallel sides, such as a rectangle, square or rhombus. A quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram would be an irregular shape.


Which type of quadrilateral has no parallel sides?

to me a quadrilateral always has parallel sides


Why are only some rectangles squares?

All rectangles have four right angles, and two sets of parallel sides (two are perpendicular to the other two. However, the square is a special type of rectangle that has 4 equal sides as well as the 4 equal angles. A rectangle will have two sets of parallel sides of equal length.


What are the four four-sided objects in geometry?

4-sided polygons include the square, rectangle, and rhombus (all parallelograms), and the trapezoid.*A fifth type is a concave or convex quadrilateral with no equal or parallel sides.

Trapezoids have only one pair of parallel sides.


Does a rhombus have two or one parallel?

A rhombus is a type of parallelogram; it has two sets of parallel lines.
