To determine which shapes are rectangles, we need to recall that a rectangle is defined as a quadrilateral (four-sided shape) with two sets of parallel sides and four right angles.
Let's analyze each choice:
- **Choice A**: A shape with four sides. The adjacent sides are of unequal length. The shape has two sets of parallel sides and does not have right angles.
This is not a rectangle because it does not have right angles.
- **Choice B**: A shape with four sides. The adjacent sides are of unequal length. The shape has two sets of parallel sides and has four right angles.
This is a rectangle because it has right angles and two sets of parallel sides.
- **Choice C**: A shape with four sides of equal length. The shape has two sets of parallel sides and has four right angles.
This is also a rectangle (in fact, it is a square, which is a special type of rectangle).
- **Choice D**: A shape with four sides of equal length. The shape has two sets of parallel sides and does not have right angles.
This is not a rectangle because it does not have right angles.
Based on this analysis, the two shapes that are rectangles are:
**Choice B** and **Choice C**.
