2. On his math test, Joaquin classified these quadrilaterals into this Venn diagram and wrote his explanation.
The circle on the left has rectangles. The circle on the right has squares. The overlapping part in the middle has the rhombi because they belong in both circles. A rhombus is a special quadrilateral that is both a rectangle and a square.
Do you agree with Joaquin? Why or why not? If he Joaquin is wrong, draw the Venn diagram correctly.
