  4. trapezoid


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A square is a quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles.

What is the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral?

  1. 180 degrees

  2. 360 degrees

  3. 540 degrees

  4. 720 degrees


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is always 360 degrees.

Which quadrilateral has two pairs of parallel sides?

  1. square

  2. rectangle

  3. parallelogram

  4. trapezoid


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.

What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 10 cm and a width of 5 cm?

  1. 20 square cm

  2. 50 square cm

  3. 100 square cm

  4. 150 square cm


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the area is 10 cm * 5 cm = 50 square cm.

Which quadrilateral has only one pair of parallel sides?

  1. square

  2. rectangle

  3. parallelogram

  4. trapezoid


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides.

What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 8 cm?

  1. 16 cm

  2. 24 cm

  3. 32 cm

  4. 40 cm


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The perimeter of a square is calculated by multiplying the side length by 4. In this case, the perimeter is 8 cm * 4 = 32 cm.

Which quadrilateral has four equal sides but not four right angles?

  1. square

  2. rectangle

  3. rhombus

  4. trapezoid


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with four equal sides but not four right angles.

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 12 cm and a height of 8 cm?

  1. 24 square cm

  2. 48 square cm

  3. 72 square cm

  4. 96 square cm


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is calculated by multiplying its base by its height. In this case, the area is 12 cm * 8 cm = 96 square cm.

Which quadrilateral has two pairs of adjacent sides that are congruent?

  1. square

  2. rectangle

  3. parallelogram

  4. trapezoid


Correct Option:
Explanation:

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides that are congruent.

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 15 cm and a width of 10 cm?

  1. 30 cm

  2. 40 cm

  3. 50 cm

  4. 60 cm


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the sum of its length and width by 2. In this case, the perimeter is (15 cm + 10 cm) * 2 = 50 cm.

Which quadrilateral has four right angles but not four equal sides?

  1. square

  2. rectangle

  3. parallelogram

  4. trapezoid


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles but not four equal sides.

What is the area of a trapezoid with a base of 10 cm, a top base of 6 cm, and a height of 8 cm?

  1. 32 square cm

  2. 64 square cm

  3. 96 square cm

  4. 128 square cm


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is calculated by multiplying the average of its bases by its height. In this case, the average of the bases is (10 cm + 6 cm) / 2 = 8 cm. The area is then 8 cm * 8 cm = 64 square cm.

Which quadrilateral has two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel and congruent?

  1. square

  2. rectangle

  3. parallelogram

  4. trapezoid


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel and congruent.

  1. 24 cm

  2. 36 cm

  3. 48 cm

  4. 60 cm


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The perimeter of a square is calculated by multiplying the side length by 4. In this case, the perimeter is 12 cm * 4 = 48 cm.

Which quadrilateral has four equal sides and four right angles?

  1. square

  2. rectangle

  3. parallelogram

  4. trapezoid
