Question
Of the four quadrilaterals-square, rectangle, rhombus and trapezium-one is somewhat different from the others because of its design. Find it and give justification.
Solution
In square, rectangle and rhombus, opposite sides are parallel and equal. Also, opposite angles are equal, i.e. they all are parallelograms.
But in trapezium, there is only one pair of parallel sides, i.e. it is not a parallelogram. Therefore, trapezium has different design.
