Let’s go through each shape one by one and decide if it’s a
square or a
rectangle.
Remember:
- A
square has 4 equal sides and 4 right angles.
- A
rectangle has opposite sides equal and 4 right angles — but not all sides are the same length (unless it’s also a square).
We’ll look at each shape in order, left to right, top to bottom.
---
Top row:
1. First shape: Looks like all sides are equal →
square
2. Second shape: Longer on the sides, shorter on top/bottom →
rectangle
3. Third shape: All sides look equal →
square
---
Middle row:
4. Fourth shape: It’s tilted, but still has 4 equal sides →
square (rotation doesn’t change the shape!)
5. Fifth shape: Taller than wide, opposite sides equal →
rectangle
6. Sixth shape: Tilted again, but all sides equal →
square
---
Bottom row:
7. Seventh shape: Small and tilted, but still 4 equal sides →
square
8. Eighth shape: Very flat, long horizontally →
rectangle
9. Ninth shape: Looks like all sides equal →
square

Now let’s write down the answers in order:
Row 1: square, rectangle, square
Row 2: square, rectangle, square
Row 3: square, rectangle, square
Final Answer:
square, rectangle, square, square, rectangle, square, square, rectangle, square
