Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Classifying Quadrilaterals Worksheet Fourth Grade Classifying ...
Let's solve each problem step by step based on the figures shown. Since I can't see the image directly, I will interpret the figures based on your description and standard geometry conventions.

We are to:
1. Circle every descriptive term that applies to each figure.
2. Write the most descriptive name for the figure (i.e., the most specific classification).
3. Assume all sides that appear parallel are parallel, and all angles that appear right are right.

1. Parallelogram (slanted quadrilateral)


- Four sides
- One set sides parallel → (No, actually two sets are parallel)
- Two sets sides parallel
- All right angles
- All sides lengths congruent

Two sets sides parallel

Name: Parallelogram

> This is a general parallelogram — opposite sides are parallel, but no right angles or equal side lengths.

---

2. Rectangle (horizontal rectangle)


- Four sides
- One set sides parallel → (Actually two sets)
- Two sets sides parallel
- All right angles
- All sides lengths congruent

Two sets sides parallel, All right angles

Name: Rectangle

> A rectangle has two pairs of parallel sides and all angles are right angles, but adjacent sides may differ in length.

---

3. Trapezoid (one pair of parallel sides)


- Four sides
- One set sides parallel
- Two sets sides parallel
- All right angles
- All sides lengths congruent

One set sides parallel

Name: Trapezoid

> Only one pair of opposite sides is parallel.

---

4. Rhombus (diamond shape, all sides equal)


- Four sides
- One set sides parallel → (Actually two sets)
- Two sets sides parallel
- All right angles
- All sides lengths congruent

Two sets sides parallel, All sides lengths congruent

Name: Rhombus

> A rhombus has two pairs of parallel sides and all four sides equal, but angles are not necessarily right.

---

5. Isosceles Trapezoid (trapezoid with non-parallel sides equal)


- Four sides
- One set sides parallel
- Two sets sides parallel
- All right angles
- All sides lengths congruent

One set sides parallel

Name: Trapezoid

> Only one pair of sides is parallel. It’s not a parallelogram.

---

6. Square (perfect square)


- Four sides
- One set sides parallel → (Actually two sets)
- Two sets sides parallel
- All right angles
- All sides lengths congruent

Two sets sides parallel, All right angles, All sides lengths congruent

Name: Square

> A square has all properties: 2 pairs of parallel sides, all angles 90°, all sides equal.

---

7. Rectangle (again, like #2)


- Quadrilateral
- Trapezoid → (Not a trapezoid unless only one pair parallel)
- Parallelogram
- Rectangle
- Rhombus
- Square

Quadrilateral, Parallelogram, Rectangle

Name: Rectangle

> Most descriptive name is Rectangle.

---

8. Trapezoid (with non-parallel sides slanting outward)


- Quadrilateral
- Trapezoid
- Parallelogram
- Rectangle
- Rhombus
- Square

Quadrilateral, Trapezoid

Name: Trapezoid

> Only one pair of parallel sides.

---

9. Square (again)


- Quadrilateral
- Trapezoid → (Not really; it has two pairs of parallel sides)
- Parallelogram
- Rectangle
- Rhombus
- Square

Quadrilateral, Parallelogram, Rectangle, Rhombus, Square

Name: Square

> The most descriptive name is Square.

BONUS: What is the name of a twelve-sided polygon with all sides congruent?



A twelve-sided polygon is called a dodecagon.

If all sides are congruent, it is an equilateral dodecagon.

But if all sides and all angles are congruent, it is a regular dodecagon.

However, the question says "with all sides congruent" — doesn't mention angles.

So the best answer is:

👉 Equilateral dodecagon

But commonly, we just say regular dodecagon if both sides and angles are equal.

But since only sides are said to be congruent, the most accurate answer is:

> Equilateral dodecagon

But in many contexts, "regular" implies both equal sides and angles.

Since the question only specifies all sides congruent, the correct technical term is:

Equilateral dodecagon

Final Answers:



| # | Descriptive Terms | Name |
|---|-------------------|------|
| 1 | Four sides, Two sets sides parallel | Parallelogram |
| 2 | Four sides, Two sets sides parallel, All right angles | Rectangle |
| 3 | Four sides, One set sides parallel | Trapezoid |
| 4 | Four sides, Two sets sides parallel, All sides lengths congruent | Rhombus |
| 5 | Four sides, One set sides parallel | Trapezoid |
| 6 | Four sides, Two sets sides parallel, All right angles, All sides lengths congruent | Square |
| 7 | Quadrilateral, Parallelogram, Rectangle | Rectangle |
| 8 | Quadrilateral, Trapezoid | Trapezoid |
| 9 | Quadrilateral, Parallelogram, Rectangle, Rhombus, Square | Square |

Bonus: Equilateral dodecagon

> Or, if you're allowed to assume regularity (common in such problems), Regular dodecagon.

But strictly speaking, Equilateral dodecagon is correct.
