Question from Sambo: what do parallelogram, rhombus and rectangle have in common? |
Hi Sambo,
They are all the names of two-dimensional figures but I don't expect that is the answer expected. Think about some other two-dimensional shapes, say a triangle, octagon and a circle. what properties do a parallelogram, a rhombus and a rectangle have that a triangle, an octagon and a circle don't.
