Math Problem Statement

Fill in the table based on the geometric properties of a Rhombus, Square, and Parallelogram.

Solution

Let's analyze the table in the image, which compares the properties of different geometric shapes: Rhombus, Square, and Parallelogram. Each shape is evaluated based on four characteristics:

  1. Four right angles
  2. Only one pair of parallel sides
  3. Two pairs of parallel sides
  4. All sides congruent

Now, I'll fill in the table according to the properties of each shape:

  1. Rhombus:

    • Four right angles: No
    • Only one pair of parallel sides: No
    • Two pairs of parallel sides: Yes
    • All sides congruent: Yes
  2. Square:

    • Four right angles: Yes
    • Only one pair of parallel sides: No
    • Two pairs of parallel sides: Yes
    • All sides congruent: Yes
  3. Parallelogram:

    • Four right angles: No (not necessarily; only if it's a rectangle)
    • Only one pair of parallel sides: No
    • Two pairs of parallel sides: Yes
    • All sides congruent: No (not necessarily; only if it's a rhombus or square)

Would you like further clarification or more details on any of the geometric properties?

Here are 5 related questions for deeper exploration:

  1. What is the main difference between a rhombus and a square?
  2. Can a parallelogram be classified as a rectangle or rhombus? Under what conditions?
  3. How can we prove that all sides of a rhombus are congruent?
  4. What properties of a parallelogram ensure that its opposite angles are equal?
  5. How do we distinguish between different quadrilaterals based on side lengths and angles?

Tip: A square is both a rhombus and a rectangle since it has properties of both!
