Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following shapes can be classified as a parallelogram?

A trapezoid

A square

A square is a type of parallelogram. This is because a parallelogram is defined as a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are both parallel and equal in length. A square fits this definition perfectly, as all sides are equal, and opposite sides are parallel. Additionally, a square has all the properties of a rectangle, and since the angles in a square are right angles, it satisfies all the criteria to be classified as a parallelogram.

In contrast, a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides, which does not meet the criteria for a parallelogram. A triangle does not have the necessary four sides or the parallel side requirement, and a circle, being a curved shape, does not possess sides at all, further making it impossible to classify as a parallelogram. Thus, the best answer that fits the definition of a parallelogram is the square.
