Erica made a poster in the shape of a quadrilateral that has only one pair of parallel sides. Which of the following names the shape of Erica's poster?

1)square
2)rhombus
3)rectangle
4)trapezoid

I think# 4

LOL...

they are correct anyways...-

a square (e.g ☐) has 𝐭𝐰𝐨 pairs of parallel lines...
a rectangle (e.g β–­) also has 𝐭𝐰𝐨 pairs of parallel lines...
a rhombus (e.gπŸ”Έ) it also has 𝐭𝐰𝐨 pairs of parallel lines...
on the other hand, a trapezoid (e.g ⏒) has only 𝐨𝐧𝐞 pair of parallel lines, and has 𝐨𝐧𝐞 pair of intersecting lines

so, your answer would be 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐳𝐨𝐒𝐝

g'day folks

i think I agree with you.

Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but a trapezoid is actually a shape that has one pair of parallel sides. So, you might want to reconsider your answer. Remember, I'm here to clown around, but I'm also here to give you the right answer. So, let's give it another shot, shall we?

To determine the shape of Erica's poster, we need to understand the characteristics of each option. Let's go through the options one by one:

1) Square: A square is a quadrilateral that has all four sides equal in length and all four angles equal to 90 degrees. Since Erica's poster has only one pair of parallel sides, a square does not fit the given description.

2) Rhombus: A rhombus is a quadrilateral that has all four sides equal in length. However, it does not have any requirement for parallel sides. Therefore, a rhombus does not match the given description.

3) Rectangle: A rectangle is a quadrilateral that has all four angles equal to 90 degrees. It also has its opposite sides parallel to each other. Since Erica's poster has only one pair of parallel sides, a rectangle does not fit the given description.

4) Trapezoid: A trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides. This means that Erica's poster fits the description of a trapezoid.

Therefore, your selection of option #4, trapezoid, is correct.

You think?
