Maths Facts - Shapes

 Equilateral

In geometry, an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal. In the familiar Euclidean geometry, an equilateral triangle is also equiangular; that is, all three internal angles are also congruent to each other and are each 60°. It is also a regular polygon, so it is also referred to as a regular triangle.

Quadrilateral

In Euclidean plane geometry, a quadrilateral is a polygon with four edges (sides) and four vertices (corners). Sometimes, the term quadrangle is used, by analogy with triangle, and sometimes tetragon for consistency with pentagon (5-sided) and hexagon (6-sided), or 4-gon for consistency with k-gons for arbitrary values of k.

What a Square is:

Quadrilaterals

A square is a quadrilateral, which refers it to having 4 equal sides and 4 equal angles(90-degree angles also known as 4 90-degree angles).

What a Rectangle is:

Rectangle - Wikipedia

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with 4 right angles(4 90-degree angles). It can also be known as an equiangular quadrilateral because all the angles are equal. It can also be known as an oblong, a non-square rectangle.


What a Parallelogram is:

Finding angles in a parallelogram without trigonometry ...

A parallelogram is a simple quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parallel sides. The opposite/facing sides of a parallelogram are equal in length and the opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal as well. 

What a Trapezoid is:

Trapezoids: Adjacent angles are Supplementary | Geometry Help

On a trapezoid, the parallel sides are known as the legs and the other 2 sides are known as the legs. A trapezoid is similar to a trapezium but it has different angles and the parallel sides are uneven in size. There are many types of a trapezoid, one for example is an isosceles trapezoid(having 2 equal sides).

What a Kite is:

Kite (geometry) - Wikipedia

A kite shape is a geometric shape with 2 pairs of equal sides, it is also a quadrilateral shape. The inside of a kite shape can contain a perfectly measured circle that just brushes the sides. It can be either a concave or convex shape aswell.

Do you know the difference between a trapezium and a trapezoid?

  1. Hi baylie I like how you have given the link for where you have gotten this information from but i think you could add a bit more for the shapes

  2. I think that you are using a few too many technical terms without explaining what they are and I think you should include a few more lines of info but other wise, not bad

  3. Hello your work is really good and on point, But i think you could add more and explain more of what you have wrote.

  4. i think you should have put the defintiions into your own words or just made the definitions more simples but good effort.
