Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Thinking every parallelogram must have right angles. Only rectangles and squares do; a slanted parallelogram has parallel sides without any right angles.
• Calling a tilted square a rhombus only. A square turned on its corner is still a square because its 4 right angles and 4 equal sides do not change.
• Saying a trapezoid has 2 pairs of parallel sides. A trapezoid has exactly one pair; if it had two pairs, it would be a parallelogram instead.
