Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take a look at all of our options.
A. it is also a square
- A rectangle is NOT always a square because a square has congruent sides, so that means all four of its sides are always equal.
- A rectangle can be a square but it can also not be a square, so therefore A cannot be an option because it is not always true about a rectangle.
B. the sum of its angle measures is 360
- This is true because every quadrilateral's angle measures will add up to 360 degrees, no matter what. This is like how a triangle's angle measures always add up to 180 degrees.
- B is an option because it is an ALWAYS true statement.
C. it has four congruent angles
- A rectangle always has 90 degree angles, giving it its shape.
- Since a rectangle always has the same-degree angles, that means that it DOES have four congruent angles.
- C is also an option because it is always true.
D. it has four congruent sides
- A rectangle does not ALWAYS have four congruent sides. Say for example a rectangle has a longer length than its width.
- A square has four congruent sides, but a rectangle is not always a square, therefore this option is not applicable for a rectangle since it is not always true.
Answers:
B and C are always true of a rectangle.
