Question

Which of these is a four-sided shape that has no parallel or congruent sides?

a) a quadrilateral

b) a parallelogram

c) a rhombus

d) not enough information

Answer 1

D. Not enough Information. A quadrilateral can be a Rectangle, Square, Rhombus, Parallelogram where sides are congruent or parallel.

Answer 2

Any four-sided shape is always a quadrilateral.

If both sets of opposite sides are parallel, then the quadrilateral would be a parallelogram.

The information given says there are no parallel sides, therefore the shape is not a parallelogram.

A rhombus is a special parallelogram with all sides congruent.

The shape is not a rhombus, because this shape has not congruent sides.

The four-sided shape described is a quadrilateral, answer a.
