Characteristics of two dimensional shapes? - Answers

It all depends on the shape; different 2D geometrical shapes have different characteristics.Some specialized geometrical shapes:Square: 4 sides; 4 equal sides; 2 pairs of parallel sides; 4 right angles (90 degrees)* A square is a rectangle.Rectangle: 4 sides; 2 pairs of parallel sides; 4 right angles (90 degrees)* A rectangle is not a square.Triangle (equilateral): 3 sides; 3 equal sides; all angles 60 degreesTriangle (isosceles): 3 sides; 2 equal sides (usually the base is the odd one)Triangle (scalene): 3 sides; all uneven sides and anglesRhombus: 4 sides; 4 equal sides; 2 pairs of parallel sides; 4 equal anglesParallelogram: 4 sides; 1 pair of parallel sidesThese are the basic geometrical 2D shapes, but there are others that are more complex.
