What geometric shape is a tennis court?
In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles.
A tennis court is the venue where the sport of tennis is played. It is a firm rectangular surface with a low net stretched across the center.
The same surface can be used to play both doubles and singles matches. A variety of surfaces can be used to create a tennis court, each with its own characteristics which affect the playing style of the game.

Rectangular is not a geometric shape. It is a description of a geometric shape. The shape is a rectangle.

It is also a polygon, so two answers were correct.

Really poor grammar for an adult The shape of the court is a rectangle - a noun
It is not a rectangular - adjective.
