Solution

(a) Parallelogram:

  • Four right angles: This is not necessarily true for all parallelograms. Only rectangles (which are a type of parallelogram) have four right angles.
  • All sides congruent: This is not necessarily true for all parallelograms. Only rhombuses (which are a type of parallelogram) have all sides congruent.
  • Two pairs of parallel sides: This is true. By definition, a parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides.
  • Only one pair of parallel sides: This is not true. As mentioned above, a parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides.

(b) Trapezoid:

  • Four right angles: This is not necessarily true for all trapezoids. Only right trapezoids have two right angles.
  • All sides congruent: This is not necessarily true for all trapezoids. Only regular trapezoids (which are very rare) have all sides congruent.
  • Two pairs of parallel sides: This is not true. By definition, a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides.
  • Only one pair of parallel sides: This is true. As mentioned above, a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides.

(c) Rectangle:

  • Four right angles: This is true. By definition, a rectangle has four right angles.
  • All sides congruent: This is not necessarily true for all rectangles. Only squares (which are a type of rectangle) have all sides congruent.
  • Two pairs of parallel sides: This is true. By definition, a rectangle (like all parallelograms) has two pairs of parallel sides.
  • Only one pair of parallel sides: This is not true. As mentioned above, a rectangle has two pairs of parallel sides.
