Quadrilaterals

A quadrilateral is any 2D shape which has four sides. There are some special types of quadrilaterals which have their own names as well.

This is a square. All of its sides are the same length and it has four right angles.

This is a rectangle. It has two pairs of equal length sides and also has four right angles.

This is a rhombus. Like a square, all of its sides are the same length but it does not have four right angles. Its opposite angles are the same and its opposite sides are parallel.

This is a parallelogram. It has two pairs of sides which are equal length and its opposite sides are parallel. Its opposite angles are equal.

This is a trapezium. It has one pair of parallel lines.

This is a kite. It has two pairs of equal length sides but no parallel lines.
