Answer 1

Erin's drawing can be described by the following special quadrilateral names:

• Square: Since all four angles are right angles and all four side lengths are equal, the figure is a square.
• Rhombus: A square is a specific type of rhombus (a quadrilateral with all sides equal). Therefore, it can also be classified as a rhombus.
• Rectangle: A square is also a specific type of rectangle (a quadrilateral with four right angles). Hence, it can be classified as a rectangle.

Responses that apply:

• Rhombus
• Square
• Rectangle

A square is not a trapezoid, so that option does not apply. Therefore, the final selections are rhombus, square, and rectangle.
