Answer:

Rectangle:

A rectangle has 4 interior 90° angles and 2 sets of parallel sides (11.2,11.2 and 9.6,9.6) so therefore it was correctly named

Rhombus:

Opposite angles in a rhombus are equal (102° and 102° and 78° and 78°)

and has two pairs of parallel sides; one of these pairs being diagonal lines (13.2,13.2)

If each angles of a quadrilateral is 90 and opposite side are equal then it is a rectangle.

Rhombus:
If in a quadrilateral, opposite angles are equal and all sides are equal, then it is a Rhombus
