QuestionWhich polygon is also a rectangle: kite, rhombus, trapezoid, or square?
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are looking for a polygon that can also be categorized as a rectangle. . The options given are kite, rhombus, trapezoid, and square.
STEP 2
A rectangle is a polygon with four sides, where all interior angles are right angles (90 degrees) and opposite sides are equal.
STEP 3
Now we will analyze each option based on the properties of a rectangle.
STEP 4
A kite is a quadrilateral (four-sided polygon) with two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal, but it does not necessarily have right angles or opposite sides of equal length. Therefore, a kite cannot be categorized as a rectangle.
STEP 5
A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides of equal length. It does not necessarily have right angles, so a rhombus cannot be categorized as a rectangle.
STEP 6
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. It does not necessarily have right angles or opposite sides of equal length, so a trapezoid cannot be categorized as a rectangle.
STEP 7
A square is a quadrilateral with all sides of equal length and all interior angles are right angles. Therefore, a square can be categorized as a rectangle.
So, the polygon which can also be categorized as a rectangle is a square.
