A trapezoid can have four equal sides.
- B.
A trapezoid can have three right angles.
- C.
The base angles of an isosceles trapezoid forms 90 degrees.
- D.
The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid bisect each other.
Correct Answer
D. The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid bisect each other.Explanation
The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid bisect each other because an isosceles trapezoid has two pairs of congruent angles and the diagonals connect the opposite vertices. Since the opposite angles are congruent, the diagonals divide each other into equal halves, resulting in the diagonals bisecting each other.Rate this question:

How do you describe any two opposite angles in a parallelogram?
- A.
They are always congruent.
- B.
They are supplementary.
- C.
They are complementary.
- D.
They are both right angles.
Correct Answer
A. They are always congruent.Explanation
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are formed when two lines intersect. These opposite angles are always congruent, meaning they have the same measure. This is a property of parallelograms, and it holds true for all parallelograms regardless of their size or shape. Therefore, the correct answer is that any two opposite angles in a parallelogram are always congruent.Rate this question:

The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are represented by 4x – 47 and 2x + 31. What is the value of x?
- A.
37
- B.
39
- C.
107
- D.
109
Correct Answer
B. 39Explanation
The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent, meaning they have equal lengths. Therefore, we can set the two expressions representing the diagonals equal to each other and solve for x.
4x - 47 = 2x + 31
Simplifying the equation, we get:
2x = 78
Dividing both sides by 2, we find:
x = 39
Therefore, the value of x is 39.Rate this question:

- A.
2 m
- B.
4 m
- C.
5 m
- D.
8 m
Correct Answer
B. 4 mExplanation
The median of a trapezoid is the line segment that connects the midpoints of the two bases. In this case, the bases measure 2 m and 6 m. The midpoint of the 2 m base is 1 m, and the midpoint of the 6 m base is 3 m. Therefore, the length of the median is the difference between these two midpoints, which is 3 m - 1 m = 2 m.Rate this question:

Every rectangle is a square.
- C.
Every rhombus is a rectangle.
- D.
Every parallelogram is a rhombus.
Correct Answer
A. Every square is a rectangle.Explanation
The statement "Every square is a rectangle" is true because all squares have four right angles and four sides of equal length, meeting the definition of a rectangle. However, not every rectangle is a square, as rectangles can have different side lengths while squares have equal side lengths.Rate this question:

Which of the following quadrilaterals has diagonals that do not bisect each other?
- A.
Square
- B.
Rhombus
- C.
Trapezoid
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
D. None of the aboveExplanation
A square has diagonals that bisect each other, dividing the square into four congruent right triangles. A rhombus also has diagonals that bisect each other, dividing the rhombus into four congruent triangles. A trapezoid, on the other hand, does not have diagonals that bisect each other. The diagonals of a trapezoid intersect each other, but they do not divide the trapezoid into congruent parts. Therefore, the correct answer is "None of the above" as none of the given quadrilaterals have diagonals that do not bisect each other.Rate this question:

Which of the following conditions is not sufficient to prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram?
- A.
Two pairs of sides are parallel.
- B.
Two pairs of opposite sides are congruent.
- C.
Two angles are complementary.
- D.
Two diagonals bisect each other.
Correct Answer
C. Two angles are complementary.Explanation
If two angles are complementary in a quadrilateral, it does not necessarily mean that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. A parallelogram has opposite angles that are congruent, but this condition is not mentioned in the answer choice. Therefore, two angles being complementary is not sufficient to prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram.Rate this question:

What condition will make parallelogram WXYZ a rectangle?
- A.
Segment WX ≅ Segment YZ
- B.
Segment WX ∥ Segment YZ
- C.
< X is a right angle.
- D.
Segment WX and segment YZ bisect each other.
Correct Answer
C. < X is a right angle.Explanation
If angle X is a right angle, it means that it measures 90 degrees. In a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent, so if one angle is 90 degrees, then all four angles in the parallelogram are 90 degrees. This makes the parallelogram a rectangle, as rectangles have four right angles. Therefore, if angle X is a right angle, parallelogram WXYZ will be a rectangle.Rate this question:

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 34 cm. If a diagonal is 1 cm less than its length and 8 cm more than its width, what are the dimensions of this parallelogram?
- A.
4 cm x 13 cm
- B.
5 cm x 12 cm
- C.
6 cm x 11 cm
- D.
7 cm x 10 cm
Correct Answer
A. 4 cm x 13 cmExplanation
The perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of all its sides. Let's assume the length of the parallelogram is L and the width is W. The diagonal is given as L-1, and it is also given that the diagonal is 8 cm more than the width, so we can write the equation L-1 = W+8. The perimeter is given as 34 cm, so we can write the equation 2L + 2W = 34. Solving these two equations simultaneously, we get L = 13 and W = 4. Therefore, the dimensions of the parallelogram are 4 cm x 13 cm.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements is/are true about isosceles trapezoid?
- A.
The diagonals are congruent.
- B.
The median is parallel to the bases.
- C.
Both a and b
- D.
Neither a nor b
Correct Answer
C. Both a and bExplanation
An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid with two sides that are congruent. This means that the diagonals, which connect the opposite vertices, will also be congruent. Additionally, the median of an isosceles trapezoid, which is a line segment connecting the midpoints of the non-parallel sides, will be parallel to the bases. Therefore, both statements a and b are true about isosceles trapezoids.Rate this question:

Two consecutive angles of a parallelogram have measures (x + 30)° and [2(x – 30)]°. What is the measure of the smaller angle?
- A.
30°
- B.
80°
- C.
100°
- D.
140°
Correct Answer
B. 80°Explanation
The measure of the smaller angle in a parallelogram can be found by subtracting the larger angle from 180°. In this case, the larger angle is [2(x – 30)]° and the smaller angle is (x + 30)°. Therefore, the measure of the smaller angle is [180 - 2(x – 30)]°, which simplifies to [180 - 2x + 60]° and further simplifies to [240 - 2x]°. To find the value of x, we set [240 - 2x]° equal to 80° and solve for x. This gives us x = 80, which means the measure of the smaller angle is 80°.Rate this question:
