Let's solve the problem step by step based on the image you provided. This is a Grade 1 worksheet about identifying properties of 2D shapes, specifically focusing on
horizontal lines,
vertical lines,
sides, and
corners (vertices).

🔹 Given Example:
The rectangle has:
- 2 horizontal lines
- 2 vertical lines
- 4 corners
- 4 sides
This helps us understand what we're counting.
Now let’s analyze each shape in the questions.

✔ Question 1a: Square
The shape is a
square (which is a type of rectangle). It looks like this:
```
┌───────┐
│ │
└───────┘
```
Let’s count:
-
Horizontal lines: The top and bottom sides are horizontal →
2
-
Vertical lines: The left and right sides are vertical →
2
-
Sides: A square has 4 sides →
4
-
Corners: A square has 4 corners →
4
✔ Answers for
a:
- Horizontal lines:
2
- Vertical lines:
2
- Sides:
4
- Corners:
4

✔ Question 1b: Triangle
The shape is a
triangle (right-angled triangle):
```
/|
/ |
/__|
```
Let’s examine:
-
Horizontal lines: Only the base (bottom side) is horizontal →
1
-
Vertical lines: Only the right side (if it's a right triangle) is vertical →
1
-
Sides: A triangle has 3 sides →
3
-
Corners: A triangle has 3 corners →
3
> Note: Some triangles may not have perfect horizontal/vertical lines, but in this case, the drawing shows one horizontal and one vertical line forming a right angle.
✔ Answers for
b:
- Horizontal lines:
1
- Vertical lines:
1
- Sides:
3
- Corners:
3

❓ Part c: Pentagon (incomplete in your image)
You only showed part of the third shape — it appears to be a
pentagon (5-sided shape), but only the top half is visible.
But since it’s cut off, I can’t confirm if it's regular or irregular. However, assuming it’s a
regular pentagon (like a house-shaped figure), here's what we'd expect:
-
Horizontal lines: Likely
1 (the base), possibly more depending on orientation.
-
Vertical lines: Usually
0 unless drawn with vertical sides.
-
Sides:
5
-
Corners:
5
But without seeing the full shape, it's hard to say exactly how many horizontal/vertical lines.
👉 Since the image cuts off, I’ll stop at
a and
b, which are fully visible.

✔ Final Answers:
#### a. Square
- Horizontal lines:
2
- Vertical lines:
2
- Sides:
4
- Corners:
4
#### b. Triangle
- Horizontal lines:
1
- Vertical lines:
1
- Sides:
3
- Corners:
3

🎯 Explanation:
-
Horizontal lines go left to right (like the horizon).
-
Vertical lines go up and down.
-
Sides are the straight edges of the shape.
-
Corners are where two sides meet (also called vertices).
These concepts help young learners understand basic geometry.
