Hierarchy of Polygons

Is a quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides.

• Rhombus

• Square

• Rectangle 

• Trapezoid

Why is a Triangle called Scalene?

• It has two sides that match

• It has three sides that match

• It has no sides that match

• It has four sides that match

Has 2 pairs of parallel sides.

• Trapezoid

• Triangle

• Parallelogram

• Rhombus

What is a polygon?

• A closed figure made up of straight line segments

• An open figure made up of straight line segments

• A closed figure made up of curved edges

• An closed figure made up of crossed line segments

Look at the hierarchy. Which figure can be placed below the rectangle in this hierarchy?

• rhombus

• trapezoid

• square

• triangle

What is the most general category according to this venn diagram?

• parallelograms

• quadrilaterals

• polygons

• squares

Which of these correctly arranges the figures in a hierarchy based on their classification?

• polygon -> isosceles -> triangle -> equilateral

• polygon -> triangle -> equilateral -> isosceles

• polygon -> triangle -> isosceles -> equilateral

• polygon -> isosceles -> equilateral -> triangle

Using this hierarchy of two dimensional figures, determine which of the following labels can be given to the shape below. Select three that apply.

• paralellogram

• polygon

• quadrilateral

• rectangle

Which of these correctly arranges the figures in a hierarchy based on their classification?

• polygon→isosceles→triangle→equilateral

• polygon→triangle→equilateral→isosceles

• polygon→triangle→isosceles→equilateral

• polygon→isosceles→equilateral→triangle
