Classifying 2D Shapes
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
A rectangle has exactly one line of symmetry.
Rewrite: A rectangle has exactly two lines of symmetry.
2. Fix the sentence:
All quadrilaterals have equal diagonals.
Rewrite: Only some quadrilaterals, such as rectangles and squares, have equal diagonals.
3. Fix the sentence:
A pentagon has four lines of symmetry when it is regular.
Rewrite: A regular pentagon has five lines of symmetry.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A regular octagon has 8 lines of symmetry.
2. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
3. A shape with all sides equal but not all angles equal is an irregular polygon.
4. A square has 4 lines of symmetry.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Why is every square a rhombus but not every rhombus a square?
Every square has four equal sides, which makes it a rhombus. But a rhombus does not need right angles, so a rhombus with non-right angles is not a square.
2. A shape has six equal sides and six equal angles. Name it and state whether it is regular or irregular.
It is a regular hexagon because all six sides are equal and all six angles are equal.
