1. First, notice that Melissa’s overall drawing was made by putting two known quadrilaterals together. One of them has four right angles (a rectangle) and the other has only one pair of parallel sides (an isosceles trapezoid).

2. To see this, look at the smooth, straight sides of the drawing. One part of the shape is “box‐like” with equal angles––that is a rectangle––and the other part “tapers” so that only one pair of sides is parallel––that is an isosceles trapezoid.

3. To split the drawing into these two quadrilaterals, draw the line that marks the boundary between the rectangle and the trapezoid. This line follows the common side that the two figures share.

Thus, Melissa used a rectangle and an isosceles trapezoid to create the composite shape, and the line drawn along their common boundary divides the shape neatly into those two quadrilaterals.

$$
\begin{array}{|c|}
\hline
\text{Quadrilateral 1: Rectangle} \
\hline
\text{Quadrilateral 2: Isosceles Trapezoid} \
\hline
\end{array}
