Answer: A. WXYZ is a parallelogram

B.
\angle{W} is a right angle.

D.
\overline{WX}\cong\overline{XY}

E.
\angle{W}\cong\angle{Y}

F.
\angle{W} is supplementary to
\angle{Y}.

Explanation:

Given: WXYZ is a square.

A. A square is a parallelogram because its opposite sides are equal.

B.
\angle{W} is a right angle , since all the interior angles in a square area right angle.

C. A trapezoid has two equal parallel sides and two non-parallel sides.

But square has opposite sides parallel , therefore WXYZ is not a trapezoid.

D. Since all the sides of a square are congruent to each other , therefore


\overline{WX}\cong\overline{XY}

E. Since all the angles of a square are congruent to each other , therefore


\angle{W}\cong\angle{Y}

F. Since , all the interior angles in a square area right angle.

Thus,
\angle{W}+\angle{Y}=90^(\circ)+90^(\circ)=180^(\circ)

Hence,
\angle{W} is supplementary to
\angle{Y}.
