- A rectangle with equal-length sides - A rhombus with 90 degree corners - A trapezoid that has (the required) two parallel sides, as well as two more (optionally) parallel sides.[1] [1] Possibly not, as sometimes, the definition of a trapezoid requires *exactly* two parallel sides, not *at least* two parallel sides. Characteristics being sufficient does not mean necessary nor vice versa. :-) -Cory ========= Hey, frank? You reading this thread?
