2) Circle True or False for each item, and then justify your answer.
 True or False: A trapezoid has 2 sides parallel so it must be a
parallelogram.
How do you know? A parallelogram must have 4 sides parallel (two sets) of
parallel sides. Since the trapezoid only has two sides parallel (one set), it is
not a parallelogram.
 True or False: An equilateral triangle is also an isosceles triangle.
How do you know?_An equilateral triangle has three congruent sides, and the
definition of an isosceles triangle is at least two congruent sides.
5.G.B.4, 2 points
3) Which of the following statements is always true:
 A rectangle is a square.
 A parallelogram is a rectangle.
 A square is a rectangle.
Justify your answer (explain).
A square is always a rectangle because a rectangle always has four sides, two
sets of parallel sides, four right angles, and opposite congruent sides. A
square always has all of these attributes.

6) Which set of attributes are true of a rhombus?
Four sides, two pairs of parallel sides, opposite sides congruent, four
right angles.

7) A kite and a parallelogram are both quadrilaterals. What is one difference
between these two shapes?
Students are expected to list one difference, though they may list more.
A parallelogram has opposite sides congruent, and a kite has adjacent sides
congruent.
A parallelogram has two sets of parallel lines and a kite has no parallel lines.
A parallelogram has two sets of opposite congruent angles and a kite has only
one set of opposite congruent angles.
