Jackson made a poster in the shape of a quadrilateral. Opposite sides of the poster are congruent and parallel. Which of the following names the shape of Jackson’s poster?
A.square
B.rhombus
C.rectangle
D.trapzoid••
Correct me
a quadrilateral with opposite sides equal and parallel is a parallelogram
the 1st three answers are various types of parallelograms
a trapezoid is not
So it's A right?
or B or C...
not enough info in the question
TOO GENERAL
To determine the shape of Jackson's poster, we can analyze the properties of the different quadrilaterals.
A square is a quadrilateral with all sides congruent and all angles equal to 90 degrees. However, we are told that only the opposite sides are congruent, so it cannot be a square.
A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides congruent, but its angles can be any value. Since we are not given any information about the angles of the poster, we cannot determine if it is a rhombus based on the given information.
A rectangle is a quadrilateral with all angles equal to 90 degrees. However, the given information does not specify the angles of the poster, so it cannot be a rectangle.
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. Since we are told that opposite sides of the poster are congruent and parallel, we can conclude that the shape of Jackson's poster is a trapezoid (Option D).
In summary, based on the given information, the shape of Jackson's poster is D. trapezoid.
