9.09 Classify 2D figures

Lesson

Are you ready?

Being able to identify parallel lines can help us in this lesson.

Select the diagram showing a pair of parallel lines:

  1. A

    B

    C

    D

Select all parallelograms:

  1. A four-sided shape has two pairs of opposite, parallel sides marked with arrowheads. One pair is marked with single arrowheads, and the other pair is marked with double arrowheads.
    A
    A four-sided convex polygon has four sides of unequal lengths. All sides are unmarked.
    B

    A four-sided shape has two pairs of adjacent sides marked with tick marks. One pair is marked with single tick marks, and the other pair is marked with double tick marks.
    C
    A four-sided shape has two pairs of opposite, parallel sides marked with arrowheads. One pair is marked with single arrowheads, and the other pair is marked with double arrowheads.
    D
    A four-sided concave polygon has four sides of unequal lengths. All sides are unmarked.
    E
    A four-sided shape has two pairs of adjacent sides marked with tick marks. One pair is marked with single tick marks, and the other pair is marked with double tick marks.
    F

Remember!

To name a shape, look at its key features, including sides, angles, and vertices.

Outcomes

4.G.A.2

Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.
