A first look

This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.

Question 1 of 3

Which statement about a square is correct?

Question 3 of 3

Sam compares three floor tiles. Tile A is a rectangle: opposite sides are the same length and every corner is a right angle. Tile B is a rhombus: all four sides are the same length but its corners are not right angles. Tile C is a square: all four sides are the same length and every corner is a right angle. Which statement correctly explains why Tile C belongs to both the rectangle group and the rhombus group?
