The video tutorial explains how to classify quadrilaterals by exploring their properties and hierarchy. It covers the characteristics of trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, and squares, emphasizing the importance of parallel sides and equal lengths. The tutorial also provides practice examples to help students apply their knowledge in classifying different quadrilaterals.

What defines a polygon?

• A 3D object

• A shape with any number of sides

• A closed 2D figure with at least three straight sides

• A figure with curved sides
