Understanding Geometric Shapes

The video tutorial explores various geometric shapes, starting with quadrilaterals, which are defined as closed shapes with four sides. It then delves into parallelograms, characterized by two pairs of parallel sides, and trapezoids, which have varying definitions based on the number of parallel sides. The tutorial also covers rhombuses, which have four congruent sides, and rectangles, defined by four right angles. Finally, it discusses squares, which are both rhombuses and rectangles with congruent sides.

What is a quadrilateral?

• A shape with six sides
