D159
Step-by-Step Solution
Let angles be x,2x,3x,4x. Sum = 360 → 10x=360 → x=36. Largest = 4x=144°.
Answer: A) 144
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.
