If a shape has four sides and you know that it has one right angle, yet you do not know anything else about the shape, then the most specific geometric term you can assign to the shape is "quadrilateral". Unless you know about the other angles and side lengths, nothing more can be said.

Can you draw a quadrilateral with 1 right angle?

yes, you can draw a quadrilateral with on right angle because all sides don't have to be equal for a regular one _ /Right Angle l l l l l/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides, so yes. You can use only one right angles, if the polygon has four sides.


What is a shape with four sides and no right angles?

There is no name for such a figure. Quadrilaterals such as a trapezium or kite or even one with no equal sides can have a right angle.


What is a quadrilateral with four right angles and opposite sides are parallel but not all sides are congruent?

This describes a rectangle. It has four sides, four right angles, and its opposite sides are parallel, but the adjacent sides are not equilateral (congruent). If a quadrilateral has four right angles, it will be either a square or a rectangle. With the four right angles, it cannot be anything else. Draw a line segment. Now draw another one at a right angle to the first one. Now draw a third line segment at a right angle from the second one, and make this one the same length as the first one. Then draw the last segment to close the figure. It will have fours sides, and it will have four right angles. It will also have two pairs of parallel sides.


What is a 4-sided shape with 1 right angle?

A four-sided shape with one right angle is a quadrilateral. There is no more specific term, unless it has more than one right angle or has equal sides.


How is a rectangle similar to a right triangle?

Apart from both being a geometric 2D shape, there is little similarity between the two. A rectangle has four parallel sides and a right-angle in each of the four corners. A right-angle triangle has three sides and only a right-angle in one corner.


Describe the methods to prove that a quadrilateral is a rectangle?

you can prove any one of these statements to prove that quadrilateral is a rectangle: -- Opposite sides are parallel and any one angle is a right angle. -- Opposite sides are equal and any one angle is a right angle. -- All four angles are right angles. -- Adjacent angles are complementary, and one of them is a right angle. -- Opposite sides are either equal or parallel, and area is equal to the product of two adjacent sides. -- Diagonals are equal.
