Basic Math Terminology and Shapes

We have been tasked to explain basic mathematical shapes and terminology (Equalateral and Quadrilateral shapes). We have to Identify, Describe and Explain each shape and its properties. 

By definition, an equilateral shape is a shape that has all its sides an equal length.  Take, for example, the Equilateral triangle.  

What is Equilateral Triangle? - Definition, Facts & Example

This is an equilateral triangle. An equilateral triangle is a 3 sided, 2-dimensional shape like any other triangle however as the name suggests all sides and angles of this triangle are equal. All angles are 60 degrees and add up to 180 degrees. 



A Quadrilateral shape by definition is a four-sided, 2D shape. Unlike the Equilateral shapes, quadrilateral shapes do not have to be equal length. Some examples of quadrilateral shapes are the following shapes below.

All these shapes are quadrilateral shapes. Some examples of a quadrilateral shape is a square and a parallelogram.
A square has 4 equal sides and equal angles. It is both a equilateral and quadrilateral shape, making it the only shape that is both an equilateral and quadrilateral. The diagonals of the square are equal as well. 
The parallelogram unlike the square does not have 4 equal sides and angles, instead it is a 4 sided regtangular shape with opposite sides parallel to eachother. The opposite angles are also congruent (equal in length) and it's diagonals bisect eachother.

  2. Hi Shristi, I like how you fully explained the shapes. I think if you added pictures of different types of shapes instead of them in the one photo it would make it easier to see.

To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A sentence to let us know you actually read/watched or listened to what I had to say
3. Something thoughtful - how have you connected with my learning? Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
