GCSE Maths - Types of Quadrilateral #101

The video tutorial covers the main types of quadrilaterals: square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezium, and kite. It explains their properties, symmetries, and differences using the British naming system. Each shape is discussed in detail, highlighting unique features such as equal sides, angles, parallel sides, lines of symmetry, and rotational symmetry.

Which of the following is a characteristic of a square?

• It has no lines of symmetry

• All sides are of equal length

• Two sides are parallel

• All angles are 60°

How many lines of symmetry does a rectangle have?

• Two

• Three

• Four

• One

What is a unique feature of a rhombus compared to a square?

• It has two pairs of equal angles

• It has four lines of symmetry

• All angles are 90°

• It has no parallel sides

Which statement is true about a parallelogram?

• It has four lines of symmetry

• It has no rotational symmetry

• It has two pairs of equal sides

• All sides are of equal length

What distinguishes a trapezium from other quadrilaterals?

• It has rotational symmetry of order four

• It has four equal sides

• It has one pair of parallel sides

• It has two pairs of parallel sides

What is a defining feature of an isosceles trapezium?

• It has two pairs of equal sides

• It has rotational symmetry of order two

• It has no lines of symmetry

• It has one line of symmetry

Which of the following is true about a kite?

• It has one pair of equal angles

• It has rotational symmetry

• It has two lines of symmetry

• All sides are of equal length
