This hard worksheet asks third graders to reason about angle types and shape rules instead of just counting sides. Multiple-choice items cover acute angles, the 2 pairs of perpendicular sides in a rectangle, and the 10 vertices of a decagon, plus what is always true about a parallelogram. Fill-in-the-blank questions then dig into obtuse angles, the 5 equal angles of a regular pentagon, and naming a 9-sided nonagon.

It builds the kind of careful reasoning kids need to handle shape hierarchies in fourth grade.

★ Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. Which type of angle is smaller than a right angle?
 A) Obtuse
 B) Right
 C) Acute
 D) Straight
2. Which shape always has 2 pairs of perpendicular sides?
 A) Trapezoid
 B) Rectangle
 C) Rhombus
 D) Parallelogram
3. How many vertices does a decagon have?
 A) 8
 B) 9
 C) 10
 D) 12
4. Which statement is true about every parallelogram?
 A) It has 4 right angles
 B) Opposite sides are parallel and equal
 C) All 4 sides are equal
 D) It has exactly 1 pair of parallel sides
★ Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1) An angle that measures more than 90 degrees is called an obtuse angle.
2) A rectangle has 2 pairs of perpendicular sides.
3) Every rectangle is a parallelogram, but not every parallelogram is a rectangle.
4) A regular pentagon has 5 equal angles.
5) A polygon with 9 sides is called a nonagon.
