Study Notes

Classifying Quadrilaterals

Quadrilaterals: Defined as polygons with four sides.
Square: A special quadrilateral where all sides are equal and all angles are 90 degrees.
Rectangle: Opposite sides are congruent and all angles measure 90 degrees.
Rhombus: All sides are congruent, and opposite angles are congruent.
Parallelogram: A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.
Polygon: A closed figure composed of line segments.
Trapezoid: A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.

Regular Polygons

Regular Pentagon: A five-sided figure with all sides and angles equal.
Regular Hexagon: A six-sided figure where all sides and angles are of equal size.
Regular Octagon: An eight-sided polygon with equal sides and equal angles.

Types of Triangles

Scalene Triangle: A triangle with no sides congruent.
Isosceles Triangle: A triangle with at least two sides congruent.
Equilateral Triangle: A triangle where all three sides are congruent.

3-D Shapes

Cube: A solid object with six square faces, all sides equal in length.
Rectangular Prism: A 3-dimensional shape with six rectangular faces.
Triangular Prism: A prism with triangular bases.
Square Pyramid: A figure with a square base and triangular faces meeting at a common vertex.
Rectangular Pyramid: A pyramid with a rectangular base and triangular sides.
Triangular Pyramid: A solid with a triangular base and triangular faces.
Cylinder: A 3-dimensional figure featuring two congruent circular faces.
Cone: A shape with a circular base that tapers to a point.
Sphere: An object where all surface points are equidistant from the center, like a ball.
Hemisphere: Half of a sphere, essentially dividing a sphere through its center.
