The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, "A quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel is called," we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Quadrilaterals**: - A quadrilateral is a polygon that has four sides. The sum of its interior angles is always 360 degrees. 2. **Identifying Properties**: - We need to focus on the property of the quadrilateral where opposite sides are parallel. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - We have four options to consider: 1. Rhombus 2. Sky 3. Trapezium 4. Parallelogram 4. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Rhombus**: A rhombus is a type of parallelogram where all sides are equal, and opposite sides are indeed parallel. - **Sky**: This is not a geometrical term related to quadrilaterals. - **Trapezium**: In some definitions, a trapezium (or trapezoid in American English) has only one pair of opposite sides that are parallel, not both pairs. - **Parallelogram**: A parallelogram is defined as a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since we are looking for a quadrilateral where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel, the correct answer is **Parallelogram**. ### Final Answer: The quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel is called a **Parallelogram**. ---
