State whether each statement is true or false. If it is false, explain why or rewrite the statement to make it true.

### 12.

If a triangle is equilateral, then the median and the altitude are the same segments.

### 13.

The perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle also bisect the angles.

### 14.

Some of the angles in a triangle equal .

### 15.

An altitude of a triangle may fall on the exterior of the triangle.

### 16.

The third angle in a triangle is always the supplement to the sum of the other angles.

### 17.

In a right triangle, the acute angles are always complementary.

### 18.

All squares are also rectangles.

### 19.

A rhombus is always a square.

### 20.

If a figure is a trapezoid, then it is also a parallelogram.

### 21.

The diagonals of a rectangle bisect the angles.

### 22.

A parallelogram can have obtuse angles.

### 23.

The figure made by two pairs of intersecting parallel lines is always a parallelogram.

### 24.

All of the angles in a parallelogram can be congruent.

### 25.

A diagonal always divides a quadrilateral into congruent triangles.

### 26.

If a quadrilateral goes through a translation, the sides of the pre-image and image will remain parallel.
