Question 571359: Hello there! This is a question I had on a test review worksheet, that i didn't quite understand.
"Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram. If adjacent angles are congruent, which statement must be true?"
A: Quadrilateral ABCD is a square
B: Quadrilateral ABCD is a rhombus
C: Quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle
D: Quadrilateral ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid
I have eliminated "B" and "D", but I am unsure as to whether ABCD is square or rectangle. Could you kindly explain as to why it is either one?

Question 554341: Suppose two distinct parallelograms lie in a plane. What is the LARGEST number of points at which they can intersect?
The answer choices are: 2, 4, 6, & 8.
I was thinking it was either 2 or 4, but I just can't remember. I've looked everywhere in my notes, and Google is kind of useless :(
Thank you!!
