Answer:

A square is a rhombus.

Explanation:

When rotated 45 degrees, a square can sometimes be a rhombus (aka a diamond). A rhombus can have four equal sides with four right angles, just like a square.

A trapezoid cannot be a parallelogram. A parallelogram has two sides that are parallel with each other going horizontally and two that are also parallel but going diagonally.

A parallelogram opposite sides are equal while rectangles have opposite sides that are equal as well as all of its adjacent sides being perpendicular to form right angles. A parallelogram has no right angles. The diagonals of a rectangle are equal whereas the diagonals of a parallelogram are not.

A rectangle is a closed 2D shape with four straight edges and four right angles, also the diagonals are equal. A square on the other hand is a closed 2D shape with four straight edges, four right angles, and four equal sides. Squares can be rectangles but not all rectangles can be squares.

I hope this helps.

Have a great day!
