Make the given changes in the indicated examples of this section and then solve the given problems.

In Example 1, interchange the lengths of b₁ and b₂ in Fig. 2.53(e). What type of quadrilateral is the resulting figure?

Data from Example 1

A parallelogram is shown in Fig. 2.53(a). Opposite sides a are equal in length, as are opposite sides b. A rhombus with equal sides s is shown in Fig. 2.53(b). A rectangle is shown in Fig. 2.53(c). The length is labeled l, and the width is labeled w. A square with equal sides s is shown in Fig. 2.53(d). A trapezoid with bases b₁ and b₂ is shown in Fig. 2.53(e).
