How to Identify Parallelograms, Rectangles, Rhombuses, and Squares

Subject: Mathematics

Book: Maths Mastery

All these shapes are quadrilaterals but differ by side lengths and angle properties. A parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides, a rectangle has parallel sides with all angles 90°, a rhombus has four equal sides with opposite sides parallel, and a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus (four equal sides and four right angles). Recognizing these distinctions helps solve geometry proofs, measure floor layouts, or select correct formulas for perimeter and area. Mastery of quadrilateral families ensures swift progress in advanced geometry or architectural tasks.
