Descriptions
Any polygon with 4 sides
Shape 1
What is a trapezoid?
What is the difference between a rectangle and a square?
They both are parallelograms with 4 right angles. Squares have to be 4 congruent lines, but rectangles can have lines of different lengths.
A quadrilateral with exactly 1 (ONE) set of parallel lines.
Shape 2
Rhombus
What is the difference between a rectangle and rhombus?
A rectangle has right angles, but a rhombus has acute and obtuse angles.
A quadrilateral with 2 sets of parallel lines. (Angles could be right, acute, obtuse, doesn't matter.)
What is a parallelogram?
Quadrilateral
What is the difference between a quadrilateral and parallelogram?
A quadrilateral is any closed, 4-sided polygon, but a parallelogram is a quadrilateral with 2 sets of parallel lines.
A quadrilateral with 2 (TWO) adjacent sides that are congruent. (Not necessarily parallel lines.)
What is a kite?
Shape 4
What is a square?
Rectangle, Parallelogram, Quadrilateral
Bonus: Polygon
A parallelogram with 4 right angles, but not necessarily 4 congruent sides.
What is a rectangle?
Shape 5
What is a kite?
How is a trapezoid different from a parallelogram?
They are both quadrilaterals, but a trapezoid only has one pair of parallel lines. A parallelogram has two sets of parallel lines.
