Which type of quadrilateral has four right angles?
Square
Rectangle
Rhombus
Both A and B
The correct answer is: Both A and B
A quadrilateral that has four right angles is both a square and a rectangle. This characteristic defines these shapes as part of a broader category known as "orthogonal quadrilaterals." A square has all sides of equal length and includes the property of having four right angles, making it a specific case of a rectangle. A rectangle has opposite sides that are equal in length and also contains four right angles. Therefore, both shapes meet the criteria outlined in the question. This demonstrates that the property of having four right angles is not exclusive to one type of quadrilateral, but rather shared between both a square and a rectangle. The other options, such as rhombus, do not necessarily have right angles; they may have angles that are not right angles unless they also meet the criteria of being a square. Thus, the right choice encompasses both types of quadrilaterals with the described property.
