Let’s go step by step to identify each polygon.
We’ll look at how many sides each shape has — that tells us its name.
---
Shape 1:
It has 3 straight sides → That’s a
triangle.
Shape 2:
It has 4 sides, opposite sides are equal and parallel, all angles are right angles → That’s a
rectangle.
Shape 3:
It has 4 equal sides and 4 right angles → That’s a
square.
Shape 4:
It has 4 sides, opposite sides are equal and parallel, but no right angles (it’s slanted) → That’s a
parallelogram.
Shape 5:
It has 6 equal sides → That’s a
hexagon.
Shape 6:
It has 4 sides, only one pair of sides is parallel → That’s a
trapezoid.
Shape 7:
It has 3 sides, but it’s not regular — still, any 3-sided polygon is a
triangle.
Shape 8:
It has 8 equal sides → That’s an
octagon.

Final Answer:
1. Triangle
2. Rectangle
3. Square
4. Parallelogram
5. Hexagon
6. Trapezoid
7. Triangle
8. Octagon
