The quadrilateral described by Autumn has opposite sides that are both parallel and of equal length. This fits the definition of a parallelogram. Since the opposite sides are not just parallel but also equal in length, the following types of quadrilaterals apply:
-
Parallelogram - This is the general category for quadrilaterals with opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length.
-
Rectangle - This is a specific type of parallelogram where all angles are right angles.
-
Rhombus - This is another specific type of parallelogram where all sides are of equal length.
-
Square - This is a specific type of rectangle and rhombus, where all sides are of equal length and all angles are right angles.
However, a trapezoid does not qualify because, by definition, a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides, not both.
Based on this understanding, the correct selections are:
- square
- rhombus
- parallelogram
- rectangle
Trapezoid is not a correct answer in this context.
