Problem Description:
The task is to identify and classify the given shapes as either
regular or
irregular. The worksheet provides a grid of shapes, and the goal is to determine which shapes are regular and which are irregular.
Key Definitions:
1.
Regular Shapes:
- All sides are of equal length.
- All interior angles are equal.
- Examples: Equilateral triangle, square, regular pentagon, regular hexagon, etc.
2.
Irregular Shapes:
- Sides are not all of equal length.
- Interior angles are not all equal.
- Examples: Scalene triangle, rectangle (not a square), any polygon where sides or angles differ.
Solution Approach:
We will analyze each shape in the grid and classify it as either
regular or
irregular based on the definitions above.

Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{cccc}
\text{Regular} & \text{Irregular} & \text{Regular} & \text{Irregular} \\
\text{Regular} & \text{Irregular} & \text{Regular} & \text{Irregular} \\
\text{Regular} & \text{Irregular} & \text{Regular} & \text{Irregular} \\
\text{Regular} & \text{Irregular} & \text{Regular} & \text{Irregular} \\
\end{array}
}
