Hey guys it is Casey back here again with yet another post where I am in Math's for a change where I must tell you guys facts about basic shapes in Math's. So let's see how well this goes.
Square: This can be described as a shape with multiple sides of equal length whose angles are all 90 degrees. If you were to draw a diagonal line from one corner to the opposite then you will see that all diagonals are equal as well as the lengths and angles.
Rectangle: This is very similar to a square but with one key difference, not all the lengths are equal. two of the sides are one length while the other two are either larger or smaller. All of the angles are still 90 degrees each. The diagonals are also equal for this shape as is the case with most quadrilaterals.
Equilateral: This is not a shape itself and more of a description of a set of shapes. An equilateral is a shape with all of its sides being of equal length. So squares and triangles fit into this category nicely.
Quadrilateral: This is like an equilateral in that it describes a series of shapes and not one single shape. This is different to equilateral through the fact that it describes any four sided two dimensional shape meaning that if it has four sides and does not exceed 3 dimensions then it is a quadrilateral.
Rhombus: This is a shape that has 4 equal straight sides and often takes the shape of a diamond but it can be said that a square is a Rhombus as well. The only real difference is the fact that a square has all of its angles at 90 degrees whereas a Rhombus does not. It has equal diagonals as well as most quadrilaterals but they would be vertical and horizontal on this example above this text.
Trapezium: This shape can be described as a four sided shape with one pair of parallel lines and no more. Basically think a triangle but without the tip and you are on the right track.
Parallelogram: This is a shape with 2 pairs of parallel lines whose angles are not right angles. There is also no line of symmetry like with most shapes on a parallelogram.
Anyway I hope you guys all enjoyed this post and I will see you all in the next one bye bye
