Quadrilaterals and their Types

A four-sided figure is known as a quadrilateral.
A square is a specific type of quadrilateral with all sides equal and all angles as right angles.
Rectangles are quadrilaterals, characterized by four sides and right angles.
Parallelograms feature opposite sides that are equal and parallel, with equal opposite angles.

Other Quadrilateral Types

A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides and is also a quadrilateral.
A rhombus is a quadrilateral where all sides are of equal length, and opposite sides are parallel with equal opposite angles.

Polygons and Their Definitions

A five-sided figure is referred to as a pentagon.
A six-sided figure is termed a hexagon.
A seven-sided figure is known as a heptagon.
An eight-sided figure is called an octagon.
A nine-sided figure is recognized as a nonagon.
A ten-sided figure is termed a decagon.

Polygon Characteristics

A polygon is a flat shape composed of straight lines joined to form a closed figure.
Regular polygons have all sides and angles equal, while irregular polygons do not.

Solid Figures

Solid shapes include various geometrical figures:
- A sphere is a three-dimensional round figure.
- A cylinder features two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface.
- A cone has a circular base tapering to a single apex.
- A pyramid has a polygonal base with triangular faces that meet at a point.

Prisms

Prisms are three-dimensional solids with two parallel bases and rectangular sides.
Prisms do not contain curved surfaces; thus, a cylinder is not classified as a prism.
