Name one type of quadrilateral?
A quadrilateral is a 4-sided shape. It has four angles and four sides. The most common types are squares, rectangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids. Quadrilateral shapes can be found in the world around us, from buildings to furniture!
Quadrilateral Shapes
Quadrilateral: A quadrilateral is a four-sided shape with four angles. It can be a square, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or rhombus. Square: A square is a four-sided shape with all four angles equal and all four sides equal. Rectangle: A rectangle is a four-sided shape with two pairs of equal angles and four sides with two pairs of equal length.
Concepts:
A kite is a type of quadrilateral that has two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length. A Trapezium is a type of quadrilateral where two of the sides are parallel but the other two sides are not. A Quadrilateral can be made up of two pairs of intersecting lines, one of which is a transversal.

Question: Can you draw a quadrilateral with the given measurements? Side A is 3 cm, side B is 4 cm, side C is 5 cm, and side D is 4 cm. Clues: • Remember that quadrilaterals have four sides and four angles. • Quadrilaterals can be classified by their sides and angles. • Your drawing should be a scaled drawing, meaning the sides should be the same measurements as given. In pairs: Select and solve one of the tasks: A. Draw the quadrilateral on a coordinate plane. B. Draw the quadrilateral on a grid paper and use a ruler to measure the sides.
