For the shape in question, the three names you can drag and drop into the Shape Names box are:

  1. Square
  2. Rhombus
  3. Rectangle

Explanation for Naming

  1. Square: A square is defined as a quadrilateral (four-sided shape) with all sides of equal length and all angles equal to 90 degrees. Since you mentioned that all sides are equal in length, the shape can be classified as a square, particularly if the angles are right angles.

  2. Rhombus: A rhombus is a type of quadrilateral where all sides have equal length, but the angles do not necessarily have to be 90 degrees. Therefore, if the angles of the shape are not right angles, it can still be referred to as a rhombus.

  3. Rectangle: A rectangle is defined as a quadrilateral with opposite sides equal and all angles equal to 90 degrees. If the shape also has right angles, it can be called a rectangle, especially since a square is a special type of rectangle.

In summary, the shape can validly be named a square, rhombus, or rectangle based on the characteristics of its sides and angles.
