Level 3-4 Shapes - Quadrilaterals

As part of your work in KS3 Maths, you'll have come across a variety of shapes. Circles, triangles, pentagons and more. This particular quiz is all about quadrilaterals.

Quadrilaterals are two dimensional shapes that have four sides and four angles. Squares and oblongs spring to mind but there are different kinds of quadrilaterals, each with different properties. As their name suggests, quadrilaterals have four sides (this comes from Latin, with QUAD meaning 4, and LATERAL meaning sides). What other properties do they have? Well, the interior angles of a quadrilateral always add up to 360^o.

There are some other rules, such as lengths of sides or whether they are parallel which classify quadrilaterals into different types - rhomboids or trapeziums for example. Try the quiz that follows and see how well you know your quadrilaterals.
