Question about a quadrangle. : )   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #464 of 1093 |
Hi,

I'm trying to help a young friend in 4th grade with a geometry
problem. The problem asks him to draw a quadrangle that has 2 pairs of
equal sides but is NOT a parallelogram. We're both at a loss to come

appreciated. Thanks in advance and we'll look forward to hearing from
you soon. :)

Best wishes,
Tim Blackwood

P.S. Please send your replies to tblackwood1@....
