Wil says that he can draw a quadrilateral that is both a rhombus and a trapezoid. Shane says that is not possible. Explain who is correct.
Answered by oobleck
a rhombus has two pairs of congruent parallel sides. They are a restricted form of as parallelogram.

a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides.

while you could argue that trapezoids are also rectangles and even rhombuses (because they have those parallel bases), if you strictly apply the definition, they do not qualify, since they must have only one pair of parallel sides.

A.
Wil is correct because both shapes have all sides the same length.

B.
Shane is correct because a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides and a rhombus has two pairs of parallel sides.

C.
Wil is correct because both shapes have opposite sides of equal length.

D.
Shane is correct because a rhombus has only one pair of parallel sides and a trapezoid has two pairs of parallel sides.

Based on the definitions of rhombus and trapezoid, it is not possible to draw a quadrilateral that is both a rhombus and a trapezoid. Therefore, Shane is correct.

B. Shane is correct because a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides and a rhombus has two pairs of parallel sides.
