Study Notes
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.
