Such shapes can be seen everywhere around us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Some of the geometric shape examples are circle, rectangle, triangle, etc. A pizza is circular, whose slices are triangular. Similarly, doors and windows are examples of rectangles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A regular shape has all sides equal. For example, a square or a regular hexagon. Irregular shapes have sides that are of different measures. For example, a scalene triangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Some of the most popular shapes are explained below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list eplus-wrapper\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Rectangle<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/geometry\/rectangle\" title=\"\">rectangle<\/a> is a shape that results from joining four different points through four different lines. In a rectangle, the opposite sides are parallel and equal in length. All the angles in a rectangle are right-angled. The difference between a rectangle and a square is that in a rectangle, two parallel line segments are longer than the other two, while in a square, all line segments are of equal length.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Examples of rectangular objects are laptop screens, mobile screens, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/rectangle.png\" alt=\"Rectangle\" class=\"wp-image-40454\" title=\"Rectangle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/rectangle.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/rectangle-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list eplus-wrapper\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Square<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/geometry\/square\" title=\"\">square<\/a> is a four-sided geometric shape created by connecting four line segments of equal length. Similar to a rectangle, the line segments forming a square lie at right angles to each other. Examples of square objects are Rubik\u2019s Cube, dice, chess boards, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/square.png\" alt=\"Square\" class=\"wp-image-40455\" title=\"Square\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/square.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/square-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list eplus-wrapper\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Circle<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A circle is a geometric shape made with no straight lines. We can assume that a circle is made of uncountable points placed at the same distance from the center point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Examples of circular objects are whole pizzas and wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/circle.png\" alt=\"Circle\" class=\"wp-image-40457\" title=\"Circle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/circle.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/circle-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list eplus-wrapper\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Triangle&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/geometry\/triangle\" title=\"\">triangle<\/a> is made up of three connected line segments. It is a complex geometric figure since it can have variable angles and measurements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Examples of triangular objects are pizza slices, nachos, birthday caps, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Notably, a triangle&#8217;s name changes depending on its angles and the size of the sides. For example, when two line segments of a triangle form a right angle, it is called a right triangle. Here\u2019s how it looks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"419\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/triangle.png\" alt=\"Triangle\" class=\"wp-image-40458\" title=\"Triangle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/triangle.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/triangle-300x203.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Any triangle with angles less than 90 degrees is called an acute-angled triangle. Similarly, a triangle with one angle of more than 90 degrees is called an obtuse-angled triangle. An equiangular triangle has all interior angles equal to 60 degrees, and all the sides are equal in length. Refer to the diagram below to gain a better understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"643\"

id=\"1-real-life-applications-of-geometric-shapes\">Real-life Applications of Geometric Shapes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Geometry is the study of shape and space. It helps us understand other mathematical concepts as well as real-life applications. Geometry can be used for designing buildings, bridges, cars, and even clothes. The principles of geometry are also used in other branches of mathematics, such as trigonometry and calculus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The following are some of the real-life applications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Squares: <\/strong>Squares can be found in nature, for example, square-shaped crystals. Squares are also used in art. A famous painting by Piet Mondrian called \u201cComposition with Red, Blue and Yellow\u201d is a prime example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Rectangles: <\/strong>Many man-made objects like TVs, books, and computer monitors are rectangular in shape. There are many real-life examples of rectangles, such as currency notes, cell phones, and book covers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Circles:<\/strong> Circles can be seen everywhere around us, from the pizzas we eat to the face of a clock.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Triangles:<\/strong> You can find triangles in many places. Most roofs have triangular shapes called gables. Triangles can help support structures like bridges and buildings. There are even some chips that are shaped like triangles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Ovals\/Ellipses:<\/strong> An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/oval-shape\" title=\"\">oval<\/a> or ellipse is an elongated circle (egg-like in shape), where the length is greater than the width.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recommended-worksheets-container-id\" class=\"recommended-games-container\"><h4 class=\"recommended-games-container-headline\">Recommended Worksheets<\/h4><div
