Practice Basic Shapes in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

Closed two-dimensional figures with specific properties like sides, angles, and corners that define their shape.

Shapes are like cookie cuttersβ€”circles are round, squares have 4 equal sides.

Example 1

easy
How many sides and corners does a rectangle have?

Example 2

medium
A triangle has 3 sides. A pentagon has 5 sides. How many more sides does a pentagon have than a triangle, and how many corners does each shape have?

Example 3

easy
Which shape has exactly 3 sides: square, triangle, or hexagon?

Example 4

hard
A shape has 6 equal sides and 6 equal corners. What is it called, and what is the sum of all its interior angles?
