⇒ no right angle ⇒ not a rectangle, nor a square \Rightarrow \text{no right angle} \Rightarrow \text{not a rectangle, nor a square} ⇒ no right angle ⇒ not a rectangle, nor a square
⇒ parallelogram, neither rhombus nor rectangle ⇒ ( 1 ) \Rightarrow \text{parallelogram, neither rhombus nor rectangle} \Rightarrow (1) ⇒ parallelogram, neither rhombus nor rectangle ⇒ ( 1 )
