(a) Rectangle

(b) Square

(c) Parallelogram

(d) Trapezium

I had been asked this question during an internship interview.

I need to ask this question from Kinds of Polygons in portion Quadrilaterals of Mathematics – Class 8

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) Rectangle

Easy explanation: When the set square are placed along their hypotenuse they form a rectangle. The set squares would look like the below figure. On the contrary if the set squares are of measure 45°-45°-90°, then the polygon formed is square.
