Parallelogram
• A Parallelogram is a flat shape with opposite sides parallel and
equal in length

• Opposite sides are parallel

• Opposite sides are equal in length
• Opposite angles are equal (angles "a" are the same, and
angles "b" are the same)
• Angles "a" and "b" add up to 180°, so they are supplementary
angles.
• A parallelogram where all angles are right angles is
a rectangle!

Trapezoid
• A trapezoid is a 4-sided flat shape with straight sides that
has a pair of opposite sides parallel(marked with arrows
below):

• has a pair of parallel sides

• is an Isosceles trapezoid when both angles coming from a
parallel side are equal, and the sides that aren't parallel
are equal in length.
• is called a "Trapezium" in the UK

Kite
• A Kite is a flat shape with straight sides. 
It has two pairs of equal-length adjacent (next to each other) sides.

• Two pairs of sides

• Each pair is two equal-length sides that are adjacent (they meet)
• The angles are equal where the two pairs meet
• Diagonals (dashed lines) cross at right angles, 
and one of the diagonals bisects (cuts equally in half) the other
• When all sides have equal length the Kite will also be a Rhombus.
• When all the angles are also 90° the Kite will be a Square.
