Maths help please ? xD
 

Ok .. Im like totally stuck on my homework!!

We have to find the names of 8 quadrilaterals (a shape with 4 sides) , and put them in the correct boxes on this sheet we have. Sounds easy I know, but me and my friends don't know 8 quadrilaterals! I googled it and we have 6..

square
rectangle
parallelogram (squashed rectangle)
rhombus (squashed square)
kite
trapezium

Any help with the other 2 ? Please.. xD

An arrowhead? :shrug: I think there's a technical name?

Lol - thanks Sam and Tom!

I have looked over many pages of google, and their the only ones I can find!

I've only been taught them 6 like in Yr8. Aint done shapes in ageees. lol

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrilateral

Wiki says its a Chevron

Trapezium. Trapezoid. Isosceles trapezium. Parallelogram. Kite. Rhombus. Square. Rectangle. :thumbs:

Aww!

Thanks Ross! :hug:

and everyone else!

Aint a Trapezium and Trapezoid the same noo? lol

Obvs not different names? lol.

I think a Trapezoid is american for a Trapezium :S

So I will use a Chevron instead of Trapezoid :bouncy: x

Yeh thats what I thought Nicky, Cause on Americas Smartest Model they had to make clothes from shapes and they called it a Trapezoid loool. I'm cool.

Doesn't a chevron have 6 sides?

Trapezoid is same as trapezium, yeah.

Hmm one missing, haha.

Might be a Rhombus or a Cyclic

*looking through Maths book*

I wouldnt know the shapes I know are:

Triangle (Isoslces, Equirateral, Scalene, right Angled)
Quadrilateral (Square, Rectangle, Rhombus, Parelelagram, Trapezium, Kite)
Pentagon, Hexagon, Heptagon, Octagon, Nonagon, Decagon, Hendecagon, Dodecagon.

Im well cool lol

Diamond

Nope. A diamond is a non mathematical name for a Rhombus :)

Also known as a Rhombus (I think lol)

Edit: Whoops, same time as Scampi.

Oh Well.

Ooh, it's on the tip of my tongue! I can picture it and all!

Square? :tongue:
