“Quad” means four. Why would all of these shapes be called “quadrilaterals”?

Each shape has four sides.

In this slide show you will learn that we identify

quadrilaterals by:

and the length of their sides.

their angles

Square• A square has four sides that are each the

same length.

• It also has four right angles (perfect corners).

Rhombus• A rhombus has four sides that are each the

same length.

• But it has two acute and two obtuse angles.

Square and Rhombus

• A square and a rhombus both have four sides that are the same length. So, how are they different?

Square and Rhombus• A rhombus can be thought of as a slanted

square.

• If we push on the left-hand side of this square, it might end up looking like…

a rhombus.

The only difference between a square and a rhombus is

their angles.

Trapezoid• A trapezoid has four sides.

• Two sides are parallel.

• The opposing two sides are not parallel.

Those are parallel.

Those are not parallel.

Rectangle•A rectangle has four sides – two long sides and two short sides.

•Two sides are parallel.

•The opposing two sides are also parallel.

•It also has four right angles.

Parallelogram•A parallelogram has four sides – two long sides and two short sides.

•Two sides are parallel.

•The opposing two sides are also parallel.

•But, it has two acute and two obtuse angles.

Rectangle and Parallelogram

• A parallelogram can be thought of as a slanted rectangle.

• If we push on the left-hand side of this rectangle, it might end up looking like…

a parallelogram.

The only difference between a rectangle and a parallelogram

is their angles.

Use the following table to make comparisons using the

quadrilaterals.

For example, what do a square and a rectangle have in common?
