ATwo pairs of adjacent sides equal
BTwo pairs of opposite sides equal
COne pair of parallel sides only
DFour sides of the same length
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Two pairs of adjacent sides equal
1. Adjacent sides are sides that meet at a corner of the quadrilateral.
2. A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides equal.
3. One pair of opposite angles is equal, namely the angles that lie between the unequal sides.
4. Having two pairs of opposite sides equal describes a parallelogram instead.
