Step-by-step solution for: Geometric Shapes—Complete List with Free Printable Chart — Mashup Math
It looks like you've uploaded an image that displays various 2D geometric shapes with their names labeled. This is an educational chart from Mashup Math, showing common two-dimensional shapes used in geometry.
Here's a breakdown and explanation of the shapes shown:
---
1. Circle
- A round shape where all points are equidistant from the center.
- No sides or corners.
2. Semicircle
- Half of a circle, formed by cutting a circle along a diameter.
- Has one straight side (the diameter) and one curved edge.
3. Oval
- An elongated circle; similar to an ellipse.
- Smooth curve with no straight edges.
4. Triangle
- A polygon with three sides and three angles.
- Can be classified by sides (equilateral, isosceles, scalene) or angles (acute, right, obtuse).
5. Square
- A quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles (90°).
- A special type of rectangle and rhombus.
6. Rectangle
- A quadrilateral with opposite sides equal and four right angles.
- Not necessarily all sides equal (unlike a square).
---
7. Parallelogram
- Opposite sides are parallel and equal in length.
- Opposite angles are equal.
8. Rhombus
- A parallelogram with all four sides equal.
- Also called a "diamond" shape.
9. Trapezoid
- A quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides.
- In some definitions, exactly one pair is parallel.
10. Kite
- A quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides equal.
- One diagonal is a line of symmetry.
---
These are polygons named based on the number of sides:
- Pentagon – 5 sides
- Hexagon – 6 sides
- Heptagon – 7 sides
- Octagon – 8 sides
- Nonagon – 9 sides
- Decagon – 10 sides
> ✔ Naming Pattern: The prefixes come from Greek:
> - *Penta-* = 5
> - *Hexa-* = 6
> - *Hepta-* = 7
> - *Octa-* = 8
> - *Nona-* = 9
> - *Deca-* = 10
