Special types of triangle
Sides:
Equilateral - All 3 sides equal and all 3 angles equal (to 60o).
Isosceles - Two sides the same and the angles at the bottom of those sides are equal.
Scalene - No sides or angles equal.
Angles:
Acute-angled - All angles are acute (less than 90o).
Right-angled - One angle is 90o.
Obtuse-angled - One angle is obtuse (greater than 90o).
Quadrilaterals:
Square - All sides equal, all angles 90o, 4 lines of symmetry, rotation symmetry of order 4.
Rectangle - Two pais of equal and parallel sides, all angles 90o, two lines of symmetry, rotation symmetry of order 2.
Rhombus - All sides equal, opposite sides parallel, two lines of symmetry, rotation symmetry of order 2. (Basically a square leaning over. Sometimes referred to as a diamond!
Parallelogram - Two pairs of equal and parallel sides, opposite angles equal, no lines of symmetry, rotation symmetry of order 2. (Basically a rectangle leaning over.).
Trapezium - One pair of parallel sides, no symmetry.
Kite - Two pairs of equal sides next to each other, one line of symmetry, no rotation symmetry, string (only joking!).
Circles
Circumference = 2πr
Or, if you want to use the diameter:
Circumference = πd
Area = πr2
