Let me work through each quadrilateral carefully by examining the markings on the sides and angles.
Shape 1:
- Has right angle marks (squares) at all four corners = all angles are 90°
- Has tick marks showing opposite sides are equal (one tick on top/bottom, two ticks on left/right)
- A quadrilateral with all right angles and opposite sides equal is a
rectangle
Shape 2:
- Has right angle marks at all four corners = all angles are 90°
- Has tick marks showing ALL sides are equal (two ticks on each side)
- A quadrilateral with all right angles AND all sides equal is a
square
Shape 3:
- No special markings on sides or angles
- Only one pair of parallel sides (the top and bottom appear parallel based on shape)
- This is a
trapezoid (or trapezium)
Shape 4:
- Has tick marks showing opposite sides are equal (one tick on top/bottom, two ticks on left/right)
- No right angle marks
- Opposite sides are parallel and equal
- This is a
parallelogram
Shape 5:
- Has arrow marks on top and bottom sides showing they are parallel
- Only ONE pair of parallel sides
- This is a
trapezoid (or trapezium)
Shape 6:
- Has right angle marks at all four corners = all angles are 90°
- Has tick marks showing opposite sides are equal (one tick on top/bottom, two ticks on left/right)
- This is a
rectangle
Shape 7:
- Has right angle marks at all four corners = all angles are 90°
- Has tick marks showing ALL sides are equal (two ticks on each side)
- This is a
square
Shape 8:
- Has tick marks showing adjacent sides are equal in pairs (top two sides have one tick each, bottom two sides have two ticks each)
- No parallel side markings, no right angles
- Two pairs of adjacent equal sides = this is a
kite
Final Answer:
1. Rectangle
2. Square
3. Trapezoid
4. Parallelogram
5. Trapezoid
6. Rectangle
7. Square
8. Kite
