Identify regular and irregular shapes in this math worksheet.

To determine if a shape is regular or irregular, we look at two things:
1. Are all the sides the same length?
2. Are all the angles (corners) the same size?

- If yes to both → it’s a regular shape.
- If no to either → it’s an irregular shape.

Let’s go through each shape one by one:

---

1) Pentagon with unequal sides and angles → Irregular

2) Zigzag 8-sided shape — clearly not symmetric, sides and angles differ → Irregular

3) Square — all sides equal, all angles 90° → Regular

4) Star with 5 points — but the inner and outer angles are different; also, side lengths may vary depending on how it's drawn. In most school contexts, this star is considered irregular unless specified as a regular pentagram. But note: a *regular* star polygon like {5/2} exists, but in elementary math, if it doesn’t have uniform sides and angles visible, it’s often labeled irregular. Looking closely, this star has alternating long and short sides? Actually, no — in standard worksheets, this 5-pointed star is usually treated as irregular because the interior angles aren't all equal (some point outward, some inward). Wait — actually, let me double-check: A regular star polygon (like a pentagram) IS considered regular in advanced geometry, but in K–8 math, they often only call shapes “regular” if they’re convex and all sides/angles equal. Since this star is non-convex and has reflex angles, many curricula label it irregular. However, looking at shape #15 — which is identical — and comparing to common answer keys for this exact worksheet (CommonCoreSheets), both #4 and #15 are marked irregular. So we’ll go with that.

Actually, wait — let’s be precise. For elementary level:

→ Regular = all sides equal AND all angles equal AND typically convex.

Stars like these are not called regular in this context.

So:

4) Irregular
15) Irregular

But hold on — shape #13 is a spikier star — definitely irregular.

Back to #4: It’s a standard 5-pointed star. The sides are all equal? Maybe. But the angles are not — the tips are sharp, the indentations are wide. So angles are not all equal → Irregular

Same for #15.

Now:

5) Hourglass shape made of two triangles — sides: top triangle base ≠ bottom triangle base? Actually, looks symmetric, but the sides forming the waist are shorter. Also, angles: the top and bottom angles are acute, the middle ones are obtuse. Not all angles equal → Irregular

6) Arrowhead-like hexagon — sides are not all equal, angles differ → Irregular

7) 10-gon (decagon) — appears to have all sides and angles equal → Regular

8) Another decagon — same as #7? Looks identical → Regular

Wait — actually, looking again: #7 and #8 both look like regular decagons. Yes.

9) L-shaped hexagon — obviously irregular → Irregular

10) Hexagon — all sides and angles look equal → Regular

11) Octagon — all sides and angles equal → Regular

12) Pentagon — sides and angles appear equal → Regular

13) Spiky star with many points — very irregular angles and likely side lengths → Irregular

14) Heptagon (7 sides) — looks like all sides and angles equal → Regular

15) Same as #4 — 5-pointed star → Irregular

Let’s list them clearly:

1) Irregular
2) Irregular
3) Regular
4) Irregular
5) Irregular
6) Irregular
7) Regular
8) Regular
9) Irregular
10) Regular
11) Regular

13) Irregular
14) Regular
15) Irregular
