A Every square is a rhombus. B Every square is a rectangle. C Every rhombus is a parallelogram.

Every square is a rhombus<\/strong>: This statement is <strong>true<\/strong>. A square is a special type of rhombus. Both squares and rhombuses have all four sides equal in length. The difference is that a square also has all angles equal to 90\u00b0, whereas a rhombus may not have right angles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B. Every square is a rectangle<\/strong>: This statement is <strong>true<\/strong>. A rectangle is defined as a quadrilateral with opposite sides equal and all angles being 90\u00b0. Since a square has these properties, it can be classified as a special type of rectangle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>C. Every rhombus is a parallelogram<\/strong>: This statement is <strong>true<\/strong>. A rhombus is a type of parallelogram where all sides are of equal length. In general, parallelograms have opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length, and a rhombus satisfies this condition, but with the additional constraint of equal sides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. Every trapezoid is a parallelogram<\/strong>: This statement is <strong>false<\/strong>. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. A parallelogram, on the other hand, has two pairs of parallel sides. Therefore, a trapezoid cannot be classified as a parallelogram, since it does not meet the definition of having both pairs of parallel sides.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the correct answer is <strong>D. Every trapezoid is a parallelogram<\/strong> because it is not true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/learnexams-banner6-1391.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-264381\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Correct Answer and Explanation is: The statement that is NOT true is D.
