Shawndra made the two statements to Marcella: it is not possible to draw a trapezoid that is a rectangle it is possible to draw a square that is a rectangle. Marcella said that both statements are possible: it is possible to draw a trapezoid that is a rectangle it is possible to draw a square that is a rectangle. Who is correct? Explain your answer using the properties of quadrilaterals. make it short
Shawndra is correct. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. Since a trapezoid cannot have four right angles, it cannot be a rectangle. However, a square is a special type of rectangle in which all sides are equal in length. So, it is possible to draw a square that is also a rectangle.
