Drawing Geometric Shapes with Given Lengths of Sides

This lesson teaches how to draw geometric shapes using given side lengths. It covers different types of quadrilaterals and triangles, emphasizing that multiple shapes can be drawn with the same measurements. The lesson includes practical examples of drawing triangles and quadrilaterals, such as rectangles and parallelograms, and highlights common misconceptions about shape congruency.

Which of the following is NOT a type of quadrilateral mentioned in the lesson?

• Rectangle

• Rhombus

• Pentagon

• Trapezoid

What is the result when you draw a triangle with a base of 9 units and a height of 7 units?

• A different triangle from one with a base of 7 and height of 9

• A congruent triangle to one with a base of 7 and height of 9

• A scalene triangle

• An equilateral triangle

How can you form an isosceles triangle using sides of 7 and 9 units?

• Use 9 as the base and 9 as one side, with 7 as the other side

• Use 7 as the base and 7 as one side, with 9 as the other side

• Use 7 as the base and 9 as both other sides

• Use 9 as the base and 7 as both other sides

What type of quadrilateral can be formed with two sides of 4 inches and two sides of 5 inches?

• Square

• Rhombus

• Rectangle

• Trapezoid

Why can't a square be formed with sides of 4 inches and 5 inches?

• Because a square requires opposite sides to be equal

• Because a square requires three sides to be equal

• Because a square requires two sides to be equal

• Because a square requires all sides to be equal
