Review the classification of quadrilaterals.

Rectangle

Practice makes perfect
Let's review the classification of quadrilaterals.
Name and Definition Properties
Parallelogram
Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
Rhombus
Parallelogram with four congruent sides.
  • Diagonals are perpendicular.
  • Each diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles.
Rectangle
Parallelogram with four right angles.
  • Diagonals are congruent.
Isosceles trapezoid
Trapezoid with legs that are congruent.
  • Diagonals are congruent.
Kite
Quadrilateral with two pairs of consecutive sides congruent and no opposite sides congruent.
  • Diagonals are perpendicular.

Now let's take a look at the given figure.

In the given quadrilateral, all four angles are right. Therefore, the most specific classification of the figure is a rectangle.
