Answer to Yesterday’s Mathematics Knowledge Question on Parallelograms

Mathematics Knowledge

Yesterday I presented a Mathematics Knowledge question about parallelograms.  Do you know which shapes are parallelograms of the ones that were listed?  What are the characteristics of parallelograms?   A parallelogram is a four-sided shape with 2 sets of parallel sides.  Of the presented examples, square, rectangle and rhombus are all types of parallelograms.  The only one that is not a parallelogram is a trapezoid. A trapezoid only has one set of parallel sides. Make sure to know about all the different types of shapes for the Mathematics Knowledge section of the ASVAB.  Mathematics Knowledge consists of questions in geometry.
