ReplyDeleteequilateral triangle - A triangle with all three sides of equal length.
All the angles will be 60°
isosceles triangle - A triangle with two equal sides
The angles opposite the equal sides are also equal
scalene triangle - A triangle with all sides of different lengths.
No sides are equal and no angles are equal
pentagon - A 5-sided polygon (a flat shape with straight sides).
hexagon -A 6-sided polygon (a flat shape with straight sides).
octagon - An 8-sided polygon (a flat shape with straight sides).
parallelogram - Opposite sides are parallel and equal in length, and opposite angles are equal
NOTE: Squares, Rectangles and Rhombuses are all Parallelograms!
trapezoid - A trapezoid (UK: trapezium) is a quadrilateral with one pair of opposite sides parallel.
It is not a parallelogram because only one pair of sides is parallel.
It is called a regular trapezoid if the sides that aren't parallel are equal in length and both angles coming from a parallel side are equal

Awesome work, Zainab! And so speedy... :)
ReplyDeleteequilateral triangle all sides are equal in the triangle
ReplyDeleteisosceles triangle a triangle with 2 equal sides
scalene triangle a triangle with 0 equal sides
pentagon a shape with 5 sides
hexagon a shape with 6 sides
octagon a shape with 8 sides
parallelogram the sides never meet
trapezoid the sides arent parallel

Great, Yesehak! A trapezoid has one set of parallel lines, and a parallelogram has two sets of parallel lines.
ReplyDeleteHow did you find your answers? Thanks for posting them here.

i memorized the answers in my head from school
ReplyDeletei memorized the answers

ReplyDeletei didn't have enough space to write my name
on my answer
Thanks Britny!
ReplyDeleteGot it this time :).
-Ms. Lewis
when was it due anyways?
ReplyDeletebritny
The definitions were due today, so technically, you submitted them on time.
ReplyDeletePretty good, right?
