Classifying Quadrilaterals — Easy Worksheet 1
Grade 6 · Whoobee Name: ____________________ Date: __________
Answer each question. Use the shape names square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram or trapezoid.
How to solve
Check the sides and angles: a parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel sides; a rectangle is a parallelogram with 4 right angles; a rhombus is a parallelogram with 4 equal sides; a square is both. A trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
Example
Which quadrilateral has 2 pairs of equal opposite sides and 4 right angles?
Answer: rectangle
Not quite. The answer is
💡 4 right angles make a rectangle; the sides only have to match in opposite pairs. The answer is rectangle.

Not quite. The answer is
💡 All 4 sides are the same length, but the corners are not right angles (two are pointy and two are wide), so it is a rhombus, not a square.
