Question 38

There is an incomplete quadrilateral on the grid below.

The quadrilateral has only one pair of parallel lines.

Complete the shape.


Answer

These are all possible solutions. Only one is needed. There are more possible solutions not shown here.

 

 


Explanation

There are are different solutions if only two lines are parallel then the two lines drawn cannot be the same length as the two existing lines.  I have shown 4 possible solutions above.

Definition of parallel lines

In math, parallel means two lines that never intersect––think of an equal sign. Figuratively, parallel means similar, or happening at the same time.
