If one angle of a parallelogram is a right angle, then the parallelogram must be a ____.

Class 9QuadrilateralsGeometry — Quadrilaterals
  • ARhombus
  • BRectangle
  • CKite
  • DTrapezium

Step-by-Step Solution

If one angle is 90°, its adjacent angle (supplementary) is also 90°, and opposite angles equal these — so all four angles are 90°, making it a rectangle.
Answer: B) Rectangle

Key idea: Special parallelograms

**Rectangle** (parallelogram + all angles 90°):
- All properties of a parallelogram.
- Diagonals are EQUAL (in addition to bisecting each other).

**Rhombus** (parallelogram + all sides equal):
- All properties of a parallelogram.
- Diagonals bisect each other AT RIGHT ANGLES.
- Diagonals also bisect the angles of the rhombus.

**Square** (rectangle + rhombus):
- All properties of both.
- Diagonals: equal, bisect at right angles, AND bisect angles.
