Properties of Quadrilaterals (A) Worksheet | Fun and Engaging PDF ... - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to match each shape with its correct name based on the properties given.

We have 6 shapes labeled F, D, C, A, G, H — and 6 descriptions on the right. We need to pair them correctly.

First, let’s list the key properties of each quadrilateral from the word bank at the top:

- Rectangle: Opposite sides equal and parallel, 4 right angles.
- Rhombus: All sides equal, opposite sides parallel, diagonals cross at right angles, no right angles (unless it’s a square).
- Trapezium (in UK usage): Only 1 pair of parallel sides.
- Square: All sides equal, opposite sides parallel, 4 right angles, diagonals cross at right angles.
- Kite: 2 pairs of equal adjacent sides, diagonals cross at right angles.
- Parallelogram: Opposite sides equal and parallel, no right angles (unless it’s a rectangle or square).

Now let’s look at each description one by one and match it to the correct shape.

---

Description 1:
> Name: _______________
> Opposite sides equal
> Opposite sides parallel
> 4 right angles

→ This is a Rectangle.
Which shape looks like a rectangle? Shape A is a long flat rectangle. But wait — shape C is also a rectangle (actually a square). Let’s hold that thought.

Actually, this description fits both rectangle and square — but note: it doesn’t say “all sides equal”, so it’s more likely referring to a rectangle (not necessarily a square). So we’ll assign this to shape A for now.

But let’s check all first.

Description 2:
> Name: _______________
> All sides equal
> Opposite sides parallel
> Diagonals cross at right angles
> No right angles

→ This is a Rhombus (that’s not a square).
Look at the shapes: Shape D is a slanted diamond — all sides look equal, no right angles → that’s a rhombus.

So Description 2 → Shape D → Rhombus

---

Description 3:
> Name: _______________
> All sides equal
> Opposite sides parallel
> 4 right angles
> Diagonals cross at right angles

→ This is a Square.
Shape C is a perfect square → matches.

So Description 3 → Shape C → Square

---

Description 4:
> Name: _______________
> 2 pairs of equal adjacent sides
> Diagonals cross at right angles

→ This is a Kite.
Shape H looks like a kite — two short sides together, two long sides together, diagonals would cross at right angles.

So Description 4 → Shape H → Kite

---

Description 5:
> Name: _______________
> 1 pair of parallel lines

→ This is a Trapezium (UK definition).
Shape F has only one pair of parallel sides (top and bottom) → trapezium.

So Description 5 → Shape F → Trapezium

---

Description 6:
> Name: _______________
> Opposite sides are equal
> 2 pairs of parallel sides
> No right angles

→ This is a Parallelogram (that’s not a rectangle or rhombus).
Shape G is a slanted parallelogram — opposite sides equal and parallel, no right angles.

So Description 6 → Shape G → Parallelogram

---

Now what about Description 1? We said it was Rectangle → which shape is left?

Shapes used: D, C, H, F, G → Left is A

Shape A is a rectangle — yes, opposite sides equal, parallel, 4 right angles → perfect.

So Description 1 → Shape A → Rectangle

Wait — but in the image, shape A is labeled as "A", and it's a rectangle. Yes.

But let’s double-check the order of the descriptions vs. the shapes.

The descriptions are listed in this order on the right:

1. Opposite sides equal, opposite sides parallel, 4 right angles → Rectangle → Shape A
2. All sides equal, opposite sides parallel, diagonals cross at right angles, no right angles → Rhombus → Shape D
3. All sides equal, opposite sides parallel, 4 right angles, diagonals cross at right angles → Square → Shape C
4. 2 pairs of equal adjacent sides, diagonals cross at right angles → Kite → Shape H
5. 1 pair of parallel lines → Trapezium → Shape F
6. Opposite sides equal, 2 pairs of parallel sides, no right angles → Parallelogram → Shape G

Perfect — all matched.

Now, just to be thorough, let’s write the answers in the order the descriptions appear:

Description 1 → Rectangle → Shape A
Description 2 → Rhombus → Shape D
Description 3 → Square → Shape C
Description 4 → Kite → Shape H
Description 5 → Trapezium → Shape F
Description 6 → Parallelogram → Shape G

But the question is asking us to fill in the “Name” blanks next to each description.

So final answers per description box:

Top box (first description): Rectangle
Second box: Rhombus
Third box: Square
Fourth box: Kite
Fifth box: Trapezium
Sixth box: Parallelogram

✔ All verified.

Final Answer:
Rectangle
Rhombus
Square
Kite
Trapezium
Parallelogram
