Hi guys,

having a problem getting my head around the following drill.

Question: If a quadrilateral has four 90° angles and sides of length 3, 3, 8, and 8, it is which of the following figures: square, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid?


Answer: Rectangle, parallelogram, and trapezoid, but not square

I don't understand how it can be a trapezoid or a parallelogram if each of the angles is 90 degrees. In my mind, it can only be a rectangle. Could anyone help clarify please?
