Quadrilateral
Quadrilateral
means four sides (quad means four and lateral means side).
four sided shape is a Quadrilateral.
Any
Properties of a Quadrilateral:
Four
Four The
sides (edges)
vertices (corners)
Types of Quadrilaterals:
The Rectangle!
A
rectangle is a four-sided shape where every angle is a right angle (90 degrees)
length! sides are parallel and of equal
Alsoopposite
What
The box means "right angle" The lines show equal sides
The Rhombus!
A rhombus is a four sided shape where all sides have equal length.
Also opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are equal. Another interesting thing is that the diagonals (dashed lines in second figure) meet in the middle at a right angle. In other words they "bisect" (cut in half) each other at right angles.
The Square!
A
square has equal sides and every angle is a right angle (90 degrees).
opposite sides are parallel. The box means "right angle" The lines show equal sides
Also
The Parallelogram!
A
Opposite
Angles
The Trapezoid!
The
The Kite!
It
has two pairs of sides. Each pair is made up of adjacent sides that are equal in length. The angles are equal where the pairs meet. Diagonals (dashed lines) meet at a right angle, and one of the diagonal bisects (cuts equally in half) the other.
Take out a piece of notebook paper and make a hot dog fold!
Bring the right side over to the pink line. Now, open it back up and divide the right hand section into 5 sections by drawing four evenly spaced lines. Use scissors to cut along your drawn lines but only to the crease! Draw one more line to divide the fifth flap into two sections! Now write quadrilaterals on the left hand side.
