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 also have a word bank at the top:
kite, square, rhombus, parallelogram, rectangle, trapezium

---

Step 1: Look at the first shape (top) — it’s a square


- It has 4 equal sides and 4 right angles.
- Match this to the definition:
→ “Four equal sides and four right angles.”

So:
Shape 1 → square → Definition: “Four equal sides and four right angles.”

---

Step 2: Second shape — looks like a trapezium (in UK/StudyLadder usage)


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

So:
Shape 2 → trapezium → Definition: “One pair of parallel sides and the other pair not parallel.”

---

Step 3: Third shape — a parallelogram that is NOT a rectangle or rhombus


- Opposite sides are parallel and equal, opposite angles equal — but no right angles, sides not all equal.
- Match to:
→ “Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal. Opposite angles are equal.”

So:
Shape 3 → parallelogram → Definition: “Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal. Opposite angles are equal.”

---

Step 4: Fourth shape — a rectangle


- Has 4 right angles, opposite sides equal and parallel — but not all sides equal.
- Match to:
→ “Two pairs of equal and parallel sides and four right angles.”

So:
Shape 4 → rectangle → Definition: “Two pairs of equal and parallel sides and four right angles.”

*(Note: This matches the dashed line already drawn in the image — good check!)*

---

Step 5: Fifth shape — a rhombus (diamond-shaped, tilted)


- All 4 sides equal, opposite sides parallel, but NO right angles.
- Match to:
→ “Four equal parallel sides with no right angles.”

So:
Shape 5 → rhombus → Definition: “Four equal parallel sides with no right angles.”

---

Step 6: Sixth shape — a kite


- Two short sides equal, two long sides equal, usually symmetric vertically, can’t have more than one right angle (typically none).
- Match to:
→ “Two short sides equal in length and two long sides equal in length. Can’t have more than one right angle.”

So:
Shape 6 → kite → Definition: “Two short sides equal in length and two long sides equal in length. Can’t have more than one right angle.”

---

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 for matching shapes to definitions (left column shapes to right column definitions):

- Shape 1 (square) → “Four equal sides and four right angles.”
- Shape 2 (trapezium) → “One pair of parallel sides and the other pair not parallel.”
- Shape 3 (parallelogram) → “Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal. Opposite angles are equal.”
- Shape 4 (rectangle) → “Two pairs of equal and parallel sides and four right angles.” *(already matched in image)*
- Shape 5 (rhombus) → “Four equal parallel sides with no right angles.”
- Shape 6 (kite) → “Two short sides equal in length and two long sides equal in length. Can’t have more than one right angle.”

All definitions used exactly once. Perfect.

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

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