Recall / Warm-Up

A rectangle has four right angles and opposite sides equal. Does a rectangle have at least one pair of parallel sides?

Yes -- a rectangle is a parallelogram, which has two pairs of parallel sides, so it certainly has at least one.

No -- rectangles are defined only by their right angles, not by parallel sides.
