Square Practice Problems for 9th Grade - Geometry Worksheets

To determine if a square is a trapezoid, we need to understand the definitions of both shapes:

• Definition of a Trapezoid: A trapezoid is a type of quadrilateral that has at least one pair of parallel sides.
• Definition of a Square: A square is a quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles, and it has two pairs of parallel sides (opposite sides are parallel).

Since a square has two pairs of parallel sides, it certainly has at least one pair of parallel sides, which satisfies the definition of a trapezoid under the inclusive definition.

Therefore, we conclude that a square is indeed a trapezoid.

The correct answer to the question is: Yes.

Remember that the area of the square is equal to the side of the square raised to the second power

The formula for the area of the square is:

$A=L^2$

We calculate the area of the square:

$A=40^2=1600$

The area of a square is equal to the square of its side length.

In other words:

$S=a^2$

Since in the diagram we are given one side of the square, and in a square all sides are equal to each other, we will solve for the area of the square as follows:

$S=5^2=25$

The area of the square is equal to the side of the square raised to the second power.

That is:

$A=L^2$

Since the diagram provides us with one side of the square, and in a square all sides are equal, we will solve the area of the square as follows:

$A=3^2=9$

The area of the square is equal to the side of the square raised to the second power.

That is:

$A=L^2$

Since the drawing gives us one side of the square, and in a square all sides are equal, we will solve the area of the square as follows:

$A=10^2=100$
