Diagonals are Equal: If you draw a line from one corner of a rectangle to the
opposite corner (diagonal), and then draw another diagonal from another corner to
its opposite, those two lines will be the same length.
Adjacent Angles are Supplementary: If you pick any two angles that are next to each
other in a rectangle, they will add up to 180 degrees.
Area and Perimeter Formulas: To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its length by
its width. To find the perimeter, add up all the sides.
Centre of Symmetry: A rectangle has a point in the middle where it can be folded in
half so that both halves match perfectly.
Definition: A square is a quadrilateral (a polygon with The formula for area is length x length
four sides) with all sides of equal length and all angles of
The formula for perimeter is 4 times of
90 degrees.
length
Equal sides: In a square, all four sides are of equal length.
This means that if one side of a square is 5 cm long, then
all the other sides are also 5 cm long.
Symmetry: A square has four lines of symmetry. Each line of symmetry divides the
square into two congruent halves.
Definition: A triangle is a polygon with three sides.
Types based on Angles: Acute Triangle: All angles are less than 90 degrees. Right
Triangle: One angle is exactly 90 degrees. Obtuse Triangle: One angle is greater than
90 degrees.
Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse
(the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of
the other two sides.
The 3D Shapes
Definition: A cube is a three-dimensional shape with six square faces, all
of which are congruent (equal in size) and perpendicular to each other.
The formula for
Faces: A cube has 6 faces. Each face is a square. volume is length
Edges: A cube has 12 edges. An edge is where two faces meet. cube
Definition: A cuboid is a three-dimensional shape with six rectangular faces. Each face is a
rectangle, and opposite faces are equal in size.
