Classifying Quadrilaterals: Rectangle, Rhombus, Square, and Trapezoid

This video tutorial by Mr. Math Blog covers the classification of quadrilaterals, focusing on their sides and angles. It explains the properties of different quadrilaterals, including rectangles, rhombuses, trapezoids, and squares. The video highlights how squares can be considered both rectangles and rhombuses due to their unique properties. It also provides examples and visual aids to help viewers understand how to identify and classify various quadrilaterals based on their characteristics.

What is a common characteristic of all quadrilaterals?

• They all have three sides

• They all have six angles
