Identifying Shapes

Mensuration is the branch of mathematics which deals with the study of different geometrical shapes, their areas and volume. Different shapes can be identified if they satisfy the following properties.

  •    Square:
  • 4 equal sides
  • 4 equal angles (90°)
  • 4 axes of symmetry
  • Rectangle:
  • 2 sets of 2 equal sides
  • 4 equal angles (90°)
  • 2 axes of symmetry
  • Circle:
  • Constant diameter and radius
  • Infinite axis of symmetry going through the centre
  • Parallelogram:
  • 2 sets of 2 equal sides
  • 2 sets of 2 equal angles
  • Usually no axes of symmetry
  • Rhombus:
  • All sides the same length
  • 2 sets of 2 equal angles
  • 2 lines of symmetry
