A square because that is the only possible figure that can have two congruent sides and four right angles.
congruent means that all the sides are the same length. the sides of a square have to be the same length or else it would be a rectangle. Not all triangles are congruent though. there are other types of triangles unlike the square, where there is only one type.
a parallelogram, rectangle, rombus, and square all are quadrilaterals. a quadrilateral means a shape with 4 sides. only 2 sides are congruent in a parallelogram 2 sides are congruent in a rectangle 4 sides are congruent in a rombus 4 sides are congruent in a square
This is all about the vocabulary. First, quadrilateral, ok so a quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. Next, congruent; congruent basically means equal. So we can say what shape has four equal sides and right angles? Your basic shapes with four sides would be a trapezoid, a parallelogram, a rhombus, a rectangle or a square. The square is the only one of these that fits.
Only a parallelogram. You can technically say a square does as well, although all sides are congruent in a square (compared to the parallelogram with two sets of opposite sides congruent).
A square has 4 equal sides, and 4 equal angles and are considered paralellagrams A rectangle has 4 equal angles but not necessarily 4 equal sides, it is also a parallelagram.. On a square all sides are congruent, while in a rectangle only opposite sides are. So when is a square not a rectangle? what defines a rectangle and a square, each shape has to have 4 right angles. the sides are parallel and that in a square all four sides are congruent while in a rectangle only the opposite sides are congruent. So a rectangle must have opposite sides that are parallel and equal and four right angles. A square must have opposite sides parallel, all sides congruent, and four right angles. a rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles, while a square is a parallelogram with four congruent sides and four right angles. By this definition a rectangle is a square since it has opposite sides that are congruent and parallel and it has four right angles. The question is, why a rectangle is not a square? A rectangle is not a square because it is not required to have four congruent sides.
The square is the only quadrilateral that fits those specifications.

No, only those rectangles that are squares have four congruent sides.
No. If it did it would be a rectangle. A trapezoid only has two congruent sides.

A rectangle has four right angles. A square also has 4 right angles, but it is a only a square and not a rectangle if all of the sides are congruent.
This figure is infact a square, because a square it the only regular quadrilateral.
