The polygon \( NOPQ \) is a quadrilateral and a trapezoid.
Solución
1. We are given a quadrilateral \( NOPQ \) with sides
\[
NO=41,\quad OP=57,\quad PQ=19,\quad QN=61,
\]
and with \(\overline{NO}\parallel\overline{PQ}\).
2. A quadrilateral is defined as a polygon with four sides. Since \( NOPQ \) has four sides, it is by definition a quadrilateral.
3. A trapezoid (in many texts defined as a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides) fits this description. Here, since \(\overline{NO}\parallel\overline{PQ}\), \( NOPQ \) is a trapezoid.
4. A parallelogram requires both pairs of opposite sides to be parallel. We only know that \(\overline{NO}\parallel\overline{PQ}\); there is no information that \(\overline{OP}\parallel\overline{QN}\). In addition, the lengths of \( NO \) and \( PQ \) are different (\(41\) vs. \(19\)), which would contradict a parallelogram’s requirement of equal opposite sides. Thus, \( NOPQ \) is not a parallelogram.
5. A rectangle is a parallelogram with right angles. Since \( NOPQ \) is not even a parallelogram, it cannot be a rectangle.
6. A rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides of equal length. Since the side lengths differ, \( NOPQ \) is not a rhombus.
7. A square is a rectangle (and also a rhombus) with all sides equal. Therefore, \( NOPQ \) is not a square.
The correct answers are:
- Quadrilateral
- Trapezoid

Bonus Knowledge
The polygon \( N O P Q \) has pairs of parallel sides, specifically \( \overline{N O} \parallel \overline{P Q} \), which makes it a trapezoid. Since the lengths of opposite sides do not match (i.e., \( NO \neq OP \) and \( PQ \neq QN \)), it is not a parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, or square. Additionally, a trapezoid is defined by having at least one pair of parallel sides, which the polygon satisfies, confirming it’s a quadrilateral. So, “quadrilateral” is also a fitting descriptor!
