A quadrilateral has both pairs of opposite sides parallel. What is it called?
AA trapezium
BA kite figure
CA parallelogram
DA round shape
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. A parallelogram
1. A quadrilateral is a closed shape made of four straight line segments.
2. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.
3. Both pairs of opposite sides are then also equal in length.
