Question

List parallelograms, polygons, quadrilaterals, and rectangles in order from the least specific group to the most specific one.

A) parallelograms, polygons, quadrilaterals, rectangles
B) polygons, quadrilaterals, parallelograms, rectangles
C) rectangles, parallelograms, polygons, quadrilaterals
D) polygons, parallelograms, quadrilaterals, rectangles

Answer 1

(B) is the answer if you think about it

Answer 2

(B)

Explanation:

Option (B) is in correct order when talking about the specific ones.

Polygon is the least specific as it can be of many sides.

example: A polygon with 3 sides is a triangle. and the polygon with 4 sides is a quadrilateral.

Hence, quadrilateral is on the second number in least specific group.

Quadrilaterals with 2 sides parallel and equal are known as parallelogram.

Therefore, they are on the 3rd number in specific group.

Parallelograms with opposite sides parallel and equal and all the vertex angles at right angles are known as rectangles.

Therefore, rectangles are the most specific one in the group. The list is given by (option (B):

1) polygons

2) quadrilaterals

3) parallelograms

4) rectangles.
