QUADRILATERIAL - ANY 2D shape with FOUR (4) SIDES and FOUR (4) ANGLES and can be classified into the following five regular shapes:

Trapezoid
Kite
Square
Rectangle
Rhombus

The last three quadrilaterals (Square, Rectangle, and Rhombus) are referred to as parallelograms.

PARALLELOGRAM - ANY quadrilateral that has TWO (2) PAIRS of PARALLEL SIDES that are OPPOSITE AND EQUAL in length. Opposite angles are equal but not necessarily right angles.

MEMORIZATION TIP: Notice the pattern for each 2D SHAPE:

4 x 4 - QUADRILATERAL - has 4 sides and 4 angles
3 x 3 - TRIANGLE - has 3 sides and 3 angles
0 x 0 - CIRCLE - has 0 side and 0 angle
