This is a quadrilateral because this is a
kite that have 4 closed sides.
PARALLELOGRAM

TRAPEZOID
Its a quadrilateral
Exactly one set of parallel sides
Parallel sides are called bases
Nonparallel sides are called legs
If the legs are congruent, then its an isosceles trapezoid
Diagonals are congruent
Median is a segment that joins the midpoint of its legs
RECTANGLE
Its a parallelogram
