The angles of a quadrilateral measure \(80^\circ\), \(100^\circ\), \(80^\circ\), \(100^\circ\) in this order. What kind of quadrilateral has this shape? How do you know?

So, it's not a rectangle : there are no right angles. If it's not a rectangle then it can't be a square either.
it has two pairs of same angles: that means that the opposite sides are parallel: this makes it a parallelogram.

The quadrilateral formed by the angles 8 0 ∘ , 10 0 ∘ , 8 0 ∘ , and 10 0 ∘ is classified as a parallelogram. This is because it has two pairs of equal angles, indicating that the opposite sides are parallel. Since there are no right angles, it cannot be a rectangle or square.
