GCSE Maths Practice: triangles-and-quadrilaterals

Question 2 of 10

This question reviews quadrilaterals with equal opposite sides.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Which of the following quadrilaterals have opposite sides equal?}\end{array} \)

Select all correct options:

Check for equal opposite sides to identify these quadrilaterals.

Many quadrilaterals have equal opposite sides, including rectangles, rhombuses, and parallelograms. Rectangles have equal opposite sides and all right angles; rhombuses have all sides equal, and diagonals intersect at right angles; parallelograms have equal opposite sides and opposite angles equal. Recognizing these properties helps students classify shapes, solve for unknown sides and angles, and construct accurate geometric diagrams. Practicing identification and labeling improves reasoning and problem-solving for GCSE geometry. Understanding opposite side properties also helps when calculating perimeters, areas, and analyzing symmetry in quadrilaterals. Familiarity with these shapes supports proofs and real-life applications, including design, architecture, and tiling.
