Characteristics of 2-D shapes




                          Rectangle                           Square                            Triangle



                                         Corner


                                         Side







                    A rectangle has 4                 A square has                      A triangle has

                  sides and 4 corners.                   sides and                          sides and
                Its opposite  sides are              corners. Its all sides  corners.  Its sides may
                             equal.                         are equal.                 or may not be equal.




               The above shapes are made of straight lines only.


               Now look at the following shapes.


                                          Circle                                      Oval













                                  It has            side                     It has            side


                                 and            corner.                      and           corner.


               What special thing do you see in these shapes?


               We see that these are made of only a curved line, hence they don’t have
               any corners.
