Answer

Figures a, b, d, and e have opposite sides parallel. Figure a is a square, figure b is a rhombus, figure c is a trapezoid, figure d is a rectangle, and figure e is a parallelogram.

Work Step by Step

A parallelogram is a special type of polygon with four sides with opposites sides parallel and of equal length. If all the sides of a quadrilateral are equal without having any right angles, then it is called a rhombus. Square has opposite sides parallel. The diagonals of a square intersect each other. A square has its all four angles at right angles. A rectangle is a closed figure with four sides with opposites sides parallel and all four angles are right angles. A trapezoid is a special type of quadrilateral with four sides that has exactly one pair of parallel sides. All the angles of a trapezoid are of different degree measures.
