| Square | a quadrilateral with four equal-length sides and four equal angles |
| Trapezoid | a quadrilateral (a four-sided polygon) with at least one pair of parallel sides, known as bases |
| Height of a Trapezoid | The height (or altitude) of a trapezoid is the perpendicular distance between its two parallel sides, known as the bases |
| Kite | a quadrilateral (four-sided polygon) with two distinct pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length |
| Isosceles Trapezoid | a convex quadrilateral with a line of symmetry bisecting one pair of opposite sides (the bases), featuring parallel bases and congruent non-parallel sides (legs) |
