Shapes are the outlines formed from a given area of figure. The characteristics of shapes vary and depend on what the given shape is. Here are the characteristics of a quadrilateral, triangle, and square.
1. Quadrilateral- Quadrilaterals should have four sides and four corners. As long as these two are present, you can call any shape a quadrilateral regardless of how it is formed.
2. Square- A square is a quadrilateral, so it must contain four sides and four corners. However, a square has its sides and corners equally made.
3. Triangle- A triangle should have three sides or vertices and three corners.
