A quadrilateral whose opposite sides and all the angles are equal is a
(a) rectangle
(b) parallelogram
(c) square
(d) rhombus
Solution:
We have to find the type of quadrilateral that satisfies the given properties.
(i) A rectangle is a closed two-dimensional figure with four sides. The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal and parallel to each other. All angles are equal.
(ii) A parallelogram is defined as a quadrilateral in which both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal.
(iii) A square is a two-dimensional plane figure with four equal sides.
There are only two diagonals of the square and they bisect each other at right angles.
(iv) A rhombus can be defined as a special parallelogram as it fulfills the requirements of a parallelogram, i.e. a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.
A rhombus has all four sides equal just like a square. That is why it is also known as a tilted square. The diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
Therefore, the rectangle satisfies the given properties.
