Types of quadrilaterals Rectangle A rectangle is a quadrilateral where all four angles are 90 degrees. A square is a type of rectangle where all four sides are the same length.
Parallelogram A parallelogram is when two pairs of sides on a quadrilateral are parallel. Squares and rectangles are also parallelograms.
Rhombus A rhombus is a quadrilateral where all four sides have the same length. A square is a rhombus but not all rhombuses are squares.
Trapezoid A trapezoid is when there is one pair of parallel sides. An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid where the non-parallel sides are of equal length and it has a line of symmetry down the middle (see the picture).
