Educational worksheet for identifying and matching quadrilateral shapes with their definitions.

Let’s go step by step to match each shape with its correct name and definition.

We are given 6 shapes on the left, and 6 definitions on the right. We need to:

1. Name each quadrilateral (from the word bank: kite, square, rhombus, parallelogram, rectangle, trapezium)
2. Match it to the correct definition

---

Shape 1: Square

- Looks like a perfect box — all sides equal, all angles right angles.
- Definition that matches: “Four equal sides and four right angles.” → This is the third definition from top on the right.

✔ So: Shape 1 = square, matched to definition #3.

---

Shape 2: Trapezium

- Only one pair of parallel sides (top and bottom), other two sides slant inward.
- Definition: “One pair of parallel sides and the other pair not parallel.” → Fourth definition.

✔ So: Shape 2 = trapezium, matched to definition #4.

---

Shape 3: Parallelogram

- Opposite sides are parallel and equal, but no right angles necessarily. Angles can be slanted.
- Definition: “Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal. Opposite angles are equal.” → Last definition.

✔ So: Shape 3 = parallelogram, matched to definition #6.

---

Shape 4: Rectangle

- Like a stretched square — opposite sides equal, all angles right angles.
- Definition: “Two pairs of equal and parallel sides and four right angles.” → First definition.

✔ So: Shape 4 = rectangle, matched to definition #1.

*(Note: The dashed line in the image already connects this shape to the first definition — so we’re confirming that.)*

---

Shape 5: Rhombus

- All sides equal, but angles are NOT right angles — looks like a tilted square.
- Definition: “Four equal parallel sides with no right angles.” → Second definition.

✔ So: Shape 5 = rhombus, matched to definition #2.

---

Shape 6: Kite

- Two short sides equal, two long sides equal, usually symmetrical vertically. Can’t have more than one right angle typically.
- Definition: “Two short sides equal in length and two long sides equal in length. Can’t have more than one right angle.” → Fifth definition.

✔ So: Shape 6 = kite, matched to definition #5.

---

Now let’s list them in order from top to bottom for the “Name these quadrilaterals” section:

1. Square
2. Trapezium
3. Parallelogram
4. Rectangle
5. Rhombus
6. Kite

And matching definitions (by position):

- Square → “Four equal sides and four right angles.”
- Trapezium → “One pair of parallel sides and the other pair not parallel.”
- Parallelogram → “Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal. Opposite angles are equal.”
- Rectangle → “Two pairs of equal and parallel sides and four right angles.”
- Rhombus → “Four equal parallel sides with no right angles.”
- Kite → “Two short sides equal in length and two long sides equal in length. Can’t have more than one right angle.”

All match correctly.

Final Answer:
Names (top to bottom):
1. square
2. trapezium
3. parallelogram
4. rectangle
5. rhombus
6. kite

Matching definitions (left shape to right definition):
- square ↔ Four equal sides and four right angles.
- trapezium ↔ One pair of parallel sides and the other pair not parallel.
- parallelogram ↔ Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal. Opposite angles are equal.
- rectangle ↔ Two pairs of equal and parallel sides and four right angles.
- rhombus ↔ Four equal parallel sides with no right angles.
- kite ↔ Two short sides equal in length and two long sides equal in length. Can’t have more than one right angle.
