Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Classifying types of Quadrilaterals Worksheet
Let’s go step by step to solve each question using the definitions given at the top of the page.

---

Definitions Recap (from the worksheet):

- A quadrilateral = a closed figure with 4 sides.
- A parallelogram = opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
- A rectangle = a parallelogram with 4 right angles.
- A rhombus = a parallelogram with 4 congruent sides.
- A square = has 4 right angles AND 4 congruent sides.
- A trapezoid = only 1 pair of parallel sides.

Also, remember:
→ All squares are rectangles and rhombuses.
→ All rectangles and rhombuses are parallelograms.
→ All parallelograms are quadrilaterals.
→ Trapezoids are also quadrilaterals but NOT parallelograms (unless it's an isosceles trapezoid? Wait — no! The definition here says “only 1 pair” → so not a parallelogram).

---

Now let’s answer each question:

---

1. Which quadrilateral(s) have four right angles?

Look at the definitions:
- Rectangle → has 4 right angles
- Square → has 4 right angles
- Others? Parallelogram? Not necessarily. Rhombus? Only if it’s a square. Trapezoid? Usually not.

Answer: Rectangle and Square

---

2. Which quadrilateral(s) have four congruent sides?

Congruent = same length.

- Rhombus → defined as having 4 congruent sides
- Square → also has 4 congruent sides
- Rectangle? Only opposite sides equal → not all 4 unless it’s a square.
- Parallelogram? Opposite sides equal, but not necessarily all 4.
- Trapezoid? No.

Answer: Rhombus and Square

---

3. Are all parallelograms also rectangles?

No. A rectangle must have 4 right angles. But a regular parallelogram can have slanted angles (like a leaning box). So not all parallelograms are rectangles.

Example: Think of a diamond shape that’s not a square — it’s a parallelogram but not a rectangle.

Answer: No

---

4. Are all rhombuses also parallelograms?

Yes! Look at the definition: “A rhombus is a parallelogram with 4 congruent sides.” So every rhombus IS a parallelogram — just a special kind.

Answer: Yes

---

5. Are all squares also rectangles?

Yes! Because a square has 4 right angles (which makes it a rectangle) AND 4 congruent sides. So it fits the rectangle definition perfectly.

Think: All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

Answer: Yes

---

6. Are all rectangles also squares?

No. A rectangle only needs 4 right angles and opposite sides equal. It doesn’t need all 4 sides to be equal. For example, a long skinny rectangle is not a square.

Answer: No

---

7. Is a square also a rhombus?

Yes! A square has 4 congruent sides → which is exactly what a rhombus is. Plus, it has right angles too — but that doesn’t stop it from being a rhombus. In fact, a square is a special type of rhombus.

Answer: Yes

---

Now for the last part:
Identify the following shapes. Use all the terms that apply.

We’ll look at each numbered shape one by one.

---

Shape 1: Looks like a typical trapezoid — only one pair of parallel sides (top and bottom), sides slant inward.

Terms that apply:
- Quadrilateral (has 4 sides)
- Trapezoid (only 1 pair of parallel sides)

Not a parallelogram → because both pairs aren’t parallel.

Answer: Quadrilateral, Trapezoid

---

Shape 2: Looks like a diamond tilted on its side — all sides look equal, opposite sides parallel → this is a rhombus.

Since it’s a rhombus → it’s also a parallelogram and a quadrilateral.

Is it a square? Probably not — angles don’t look like 90°.

Answer: Quadrilateral, Parallelogram, Rhombus

---

Shape 3: Looks like a rectangle standing upright — 4 right angles, opposite sides equal.

So:
- Quadrilateral
- Parallelogram (opposite sides parallel and equal)
- Rectangle (has 4 right angles)

Is it a square? Doesn’t look like all sides equal → probably not.

Answer: Quadrilateral, Parallelogram, Rectangle

---

Shape 4: Looks like a slanted rectangle — opposite sides parallel and equal, but angles not 90° → this is a parallelogram.

Not a rectangle (no right angles), not a rhombus (sides don’t look equal), not a square.

Answer: Quadrilateral, Parallelogram

---

Wait — there are only 4 shapes shown? Let me check again.

In your image description, you listed numbers 1 through 11, but in the actual image provided (based on standard worksheets), usually only 4 or 5 shapes are drawn. Since I can’t see the full image clearly beyond the text, I’ll assume based on common versions of this worksheet.

Actually, looking back — in the original problem statement, under “Identify the following shapes”, there are 4 diagrams labeled 1, 2, 3, 4.

But in your message, you wrote:

> Identify the following shapes. Use all the terms that apply.
>
> 1. [trapezoid-like]
> 2. [diamond/rhombus]
> 3. [rectangle]
> 4. [slanted parallelogram]

And then you have numbers up to 11 — that might be a typo or misformatting.

Assuming only 4 shapes are meant to be identified (as per most such worksheets):

Final Answers for Shape Identification:

Shape 1: Quadrilateral, Trapezoid
Shape 2: Quadrilateral, Parallelogram, Rhombus
Shape 3: Quadrilateral, Parallelogram, Rectangle
Shape 4: Quadrilateral, Parallelogram

*(If there were more shapes, we’d need to see them — but based on standard content, these are the 4.)*
