    The document defines different types of quadrilaterals: - A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides. There are several types including squares, rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, rhombuses, and kites. - A square has four equal sides and four right angles. A rectangle has two pairs of equal sides and four right angles. - A parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides. A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides. A rhombus has four equal sides but the angles may not be right. - Other quadrilaterals include kites, oblongs, trapezoids without parallel sides, and figures with

    Quadrilateral Definition

    Quadrilateral Definition Quadrilateral Definition: If we take four match sticks and put them in such a way that they form a closed figure, then it is called a quadrilateral. Thus to define a quadrilateral we must first know what are polygons. Any closed figure formed by joining 3 or more line segments is called polygon. Any polygon with 3 line segments is called a triangle and a polygon with 4 line segments is called a quadrilateral. Each quadrilateral has 4 vertices and 4 angles. It is a 2- dimensional figure. Quadrilaterals have the simple meaning that is four sides. Any four side shape is a Quadrilateral with the condition that sides have to be straight and it has to be two dimensional. Quadrilaterals are any four sided polygon. Quadrangle is another name of Quadrilaterals and this is often used for an open space. Quadrilaterals are a polygon having four sides or four edges and four vertices or corners. Simple Quadrilaterals have either convex or concave shape. A Quadrilateral that is concave in shape has an angle that exceeds to 1800. Both the shapes of Quadrilateral are simple that means that the four sides of the Quadrilateral meet at the vertices.

    Thus the two non adjacent sides don't cross each other. A Quadrilateral that is not simple is also named as self intersecting to indicate that a pair of its non adjacent sides intersects. The point of intersection of the sides is not considered a vertex of the Quadrilaterals. The origin of the word Quadrilateral is from the two Latin words quadri and latus that has the meaninga variant of four and side respectively. The interior angle of a simple Quadrilateral is of approx 360 degrees of an arc. But this is a special case of n-gon interior angle sum formula that is given as (n 2) * 180. In a cross Quadrilateral the interior angles on either side of the crossing add up to 7200. There are different types of Quadrilaterals and some Quadrilateral Definition are shown below: Square: All sides of a square are equal and all angles are of 900. The diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angles and bisects at each vertex and each half of the angle is equal to the 450 as the total measure of the angles of a square is 900. Rectangle: The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal and all angles have the measure of 900. The diagonals of a rectangle are equal to each other. Parallelogram: The opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel to each other and sides may or may not be equal to the each other in length. The diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other. Trapezoid: The two sides of a trapezoid. In short a trapezoid is a quadrilateral which has one pair of sides parallel to each other. Rhombus: The opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel and equal and not necessary that all the angles of a rhombus would be equal to each other. Diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other at right angles and the diagonals bisect the angles at each vertex. Learn More Math Problem Solving Math.Tutorvista.com

    Kite: The adjacent pairs of sides of kites are equal. Oblongs: An oblong is the rarely used word now days. All the angles of an oblong are right angles but the all sides of an oblong are not equal in length. Containment: Any rectangular parallelogram having two straight lines that contains the right angle is known as containment. Trapezium: A trapezium is an irregular quadrilateral that has no parallel sides. A trapezium has one pair of opposite sides parallel and a trapezium that has no parallel sides is known as an isosceles trapezium. 1 Square: A quadrilateral with all four sides equal and all its angles equal to 90?. Its opposite sides are parallel and equal. So it is a special type of parallelogram. 2 Rectangle: a quadrilateral with four sides such that opposite pair of lines are equal and parallel and all its angles are equal to 90?. Its opposite sides are parallel and equal. So it is also a special type of parallelogram. 3. Parallelogram: A quadrilateral with opposite sides equal and parallel are called parallelogram. All its angles need not to be equal to 90?. Yes in some special cases like square and rectangle we find its all angles equal to 90?. A parallelogram has opposite pair of angles equal and adjacent pair of lines is supplementary. All these conditions and properties of parallelogram are also satisfied by the Square, rectangle and rhombus, which also comes in the family of the parallelogram 4. Trapezium: Trapezium is another type of the quadrilateral in which we have one pair of opposite lines parallel and another pair of lines is not parallel.
