![]() ![]() So all other quadrilaterals are irregular. The only regular (all sides equal and all angles equal) quadrilateral is a square. and that's it for the special quadrilaterals. one of the diagonals bisects (cuts equally in half) the other.So, this list below supports you to learn some common shape names. ![]() the diagonals, shown as dashed lines above, meet at In this segment, we will cover some most popular and common shape names which you use maximum times in our modern life.The KiteĮach pair is made of two equal-length sides that join up. (the US and UK definitions are swapped over!)Īn Isosceles trapezoid, as shown above, has left and right sides of equal length that join to the base at equal angles. NOTE: Squares, Rectangles and Rhombuses are allĪ trapezoid (called a trapezium in the UK) has a pair of opposite sides parallel.Īnd a trapezium (called a trapezoid in the UK) is a quadrilateral with NO parallel sides: Also opposite anglesĪre equal (angles "A" are the same, and angles "B" The ParallelogramĪ parallelogram has opposite sides parallel and equal in length. A two-dimensional (2D) shape has two dimensions that we can measure: we can measure the length and we can measure the breadth (sometimes called the width) of. In other words they "bisect" (cut in half) each other at right angles.Ī rhombus is sometimes called a rhomb or a diamond. The RhombusĪ rhombus is a four-sided shape where all sides have equal length (marked "s").Īlso opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are equal.Īnother interesting thing is that the diagonals (dashed lines) meet in the middle at a right angle. The SquareĪ square has equal sides (marked "s") and every angle is a right angle (90°)Ī square also fits the definition of a rectangle (all angles are 90°), and a rhombus (all sides are equal length). They are often found in human-made things, like building and machines while biomorphic shapes are found in nature. Hence, option A holds true regarding the types of geometric shapes and organic shapes. There are two types of shapes, geometric and organic. Geometric shapes are precise and regular, like squares, rectangles, and triangles. What are shapes Shapes are regarded as the form factors of different types of objects that can be characterized by their angles, boundaries, and surfaces are known shapes. The little squares in each corner mean "right angle"Ī rectangle is a four-sided shape where every angle is a right angle (90°).Īlso opposite sides are parallel and of equal length. Shape is a flat area surrounded by edges or an outline. Let us look at each type in turn: The Rectangle Some types are also included in the definition of other types! For example a square, rhombus and rectangle are also parallelograms. There are special types of quadrilateral: They should add to 360° Types of Quadrilaterals Shapes in design are categorized into three main types geometric shapes, natural (or organic) shapes, and abstract shapes. Try drawing a quadrilateral, and measure the angles. interior angles that add to 360 degrees:.(Also see this on Interactive Quadrilaterals) Properties ![]()
