Answer with step-by-step explanation:

A. WX is perpendicular to XY - TRUE:

(since X is adjacent to X and Y and all angles are 90 degrees in a square, therefore WX is perpendicular to XY)

B. ∠W is congruent to ∠X - TRUE:

(all angles in a square are equal to each other)

C. ∠W is supplementary to ∠X - TRUE:

(∠W and X both are right angles which add up to 180 degrees so they are supplementary angles)

D. WXYZ is a rhombus - TRUE:

(a rhombus has all sides equal in length and so has a square so it is a rhombus)

E. WXYZ is a trapezoid - FALSE:

(a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides while a square has two pairs of parallel sides)

F. WX is parallel to YZ - TRUE:

(WX and YZ are parallel to each other)
