Pregunta 28

Think about how the names square and rectangle relate to each other. Select all the statements below that are true.

  1. Every square is a rectangle.Respuesta correcta
  2. Every rectangle is a square.
  3. A rectangle whose sides are not all equal is not a square.Respuesta correcta
  4. No square may be called a rectangle, since the two names describe different shapes.

Explicación

A square meets everything the wider name demands, four right angles and matching opposite sides, so it sits inside that family, while a shape from the wider family joins the narrower one only when its sides all agree. Turning the relationship round fails at once, because a shape measuring 10 centimetres by 4 centimetres has no pair of equal neighbouring sides.
