Example Question #5 : Understand Categories And Subcategories Of Two Dimensional Figures: Ccss.Math.Content.5.G.B.3
Which of the following shapes is NOT a parallelogram?
Kite
Rhombus
Rectangle
Square
Kite
A rectangle, square, and rhombus can all be classified as a parallelogram because each shape has opposite side lengths that are equal. A kite does not.
Example Question #6 : Shape Properties
What is the difference between a trapezoid and a isosceles trapezoid?
A trapezoid has to have equal side lengths
An isosceles trapezoid has to have equal base angles
An isosceles trapezoid has to have equal side lengths
There is no difference between them
A trapezoid has to have equal base angles
An isosceles trapezoid has to have equal base angles
By definition, an isosceles trapezoid has to have

A parallelogram can not be classified as a square because a square has to have 
A parallelogram can not be classified as a rectangle because a rectangle has to have 
A parallelogram can not be classified as a triangle because a parallelogram has to have 
A parallelogram can not be classified as a rhombus because a rhombus has to have 
A parallelogram has four sides, and all shapes with four sides are quadrilaterals.
