Explain what the overlapping section of a Venn diagram represents when classifying shapes.
Draw a Venn diagram with two circles labeled "Shapes with Equal Sides" and "Shapes with Right Angles". Place a square, a rectangle, and an equilateral triangle in the correct sections of the Venn diagram.

Quick comprehension check
“A Venn diagram sorts shapes based on whether they have "Right Angles" and "Equal Sides". How many shapes have both right angles and equal sides if there are 2 shapes in the overlapping section of the Venn diagram? A Venn diagram sorts shapes based on whether they have "Parallel Lines" and "Lines of Symmetry". How many shapes have parallel lines but do not have lines of symmetry if there is 1 shape only in the "Parallel Lines" section of the Venn diagram (not overlapping)? A Venn diagram sorts shapes based on whether they have "4 Sides" and "Right Angles". How many shapes have either 4 sides or right angles (or both) if there are 2 shapes in the "4 Sides" section, 1 shape in the "Right Angles" section, and 3 shapes in the overlapping section?”
