Actually when you get down to it, anyone who put rectangle would be wrong. In the physical world there are no perfect rectangles squares or circles.Those truly only excist in mathmatical equations. If a trailer was even 1000th of a millimeter longer on one side it would technically be a trapezoid. Really when you get down to it, there are no perfect shapes at all in the physical world. But the closest correct answer would be a cubed trapezoid or even a cubed parrallelagram because there are no perfect angles in the physical world either. SO.....whoever put parallelogram was actually closer to being right than than those who put rectangle.
At least Im smarter than a 5th grader.... :lol:

Point taken, however, in the broader sense of the word, a parallelogram only needs to have 2 sides that are parallel to each other. The other two sides can have any variety of obtuse or acute angles from the parallel lines. The angular values can approach 0° or 180° (little calculus for ya).

So, yes, while real world math allows for the impossible to be possible due to imperfections in physical measurements and physical objects, the pencil and paper math and the english definition for a parallelogram dictates it is only a half-right answer to the question.

*walks away crooked* :lol:

:? Clearly...you have not seen Jennifer Aniston naked.
I have ...often....right now for that matter.

....now does a 5th Grader have that good of an imagination? :?

....I think not.

Um.... I was gonna vote for Bo Derek! :shock: :lol:

And, Roadhog, just HOW does one trip over "air cables" while playing "air guitar?" :roll:

C'mon now. A rectangle is a parallelogram! I answered parallelogram because it's a broad category. Best guess...
