What is the smallest number of right angles each of the following shapes can have?

  • a) Rectangle
  • b) Square
  • c) Parallelogram

Solutions:

  1. Rectangle: A rectangle always has 4 right angles, so the smallest number of right angles is 4.

  2. Square: A square is a special type of rectangle, and it also has 4 right angles, so the smallest number of right angles is 4.

  3. Parallelogram: A general parallelogram does not necessarily have right angles, but in the case of a rectangle (which is a special parallelogram), there are 4 right angles. In a general parallelogram, there can be 0 right angles, since it is not required to have any.

Final Answer:

  • Rectangle: 4 right angles
  • Square: 4 right angles
  • Parallelogram: 0 right angles (in general)

  4. How can the properties of polygons help in determining their angles?
  5. What are the conditions that make a parallelogram a rectangle?

Tip: Remember, in a parallelogram, opposite angles are always equal, and adjacent angles are supplementary (add up to 180°).
