  16. RHOMBUS • Man–Made: A metal fence makes the shape of a rhombus. • Natural: This rock also has the natural shape of a rhombus. • Textbook: A parallelogram with all four sides the same length.

  17. TRAPEZOID • Man–Made: This lighting post has the shape of a trapezoid. • Natural: A leaf can also have the natural shape of a trapezoid. • Textbook: A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.

  18. PENTAGON • Man–Made: The shape of this house illustrates a pentagon. • Natural: The top shell of this big turtles have different shapes of pentagons in a pattern. • Textbook: A figure with five sides and five angles.

  19. HEXAGON • Man–Made: This metal fence follows the pattern of an hexagon shape. • Natural: A beehive forms the shape of many little hexagons. • Textbook: A figure with six sides and six angles.

  20. CIRCLE • Textbook: • Man–Made: A plate illustrates an example of a circle. • Natural: This circular opening in the ground is probably the home of some animal. A closed, curved two dimensional figure. All the points on the circle are the same distance from the center.

  21. RADIUS (CIRCLES) • Man–Made: A street drain illustrates the radius of a circle. • Natural: By looking at Sindy’s eye we can see the radius of her pupil. • Textbook: The radius is a line segment joining the center to any point on the circle.

  22. TANGENT • Man–Made: A battery on top of a table represents a tangent line. • Natural: A vine grapes can also represent a tangent line. • Textbook: A tangent is tangent line is a straight line that touches a function at only one point.

  23. CHORD • Man–Made: This sign shows a chord with a line across to keep out people from smoking in that area. • Natural: This cross section photo of a tree shows a line joining two points of the trunk. • Textbook: A line segment joining two point on a circle.

  24. SPHERE • Textbook: • Man–Made: A basket ball is a good example of a sphere • Natural: An orange follows the shape of a sphere. A three dimensional figure that has the shape of a round ball.

  25. CONE • Man–Made: A traffic cone represents this figure. • Natural: A carrot is also an illustration of a cone. • Textbook: A three dimensional figure whose base is a circle.

  26. ELLIPSE • Man–Made: A wooden egg is an example of an ellipse. • Natural: This tulip is also an example of an ellipse, especially before it blooms. • Textbook: An ellipse is a stretched out circle.
