    1) A quadrilateral is a closed plane shape with four line segments. There are six basic types: rectangle, square, parallelogram, rhombus, trapezium, and kite. 2) The angle sum of any quadrilateral is always 360 degrees. A diagonal divides a quadrilateral into two triangles, and the angle sums of the triangles add up to the total angle sum. 3) Properties of quadrilaterals can be used to determine missing angle or side measures by using relationships like opposite angles being equal or diagonals bisecting each other.

    Math 9- Quadrilaterals
    Name:____________________________________________________________Date__________________
    Quadrilaterals
    A quadrilateral is a closed plane figure bounded by
    four line segments. For example, the figure ABCD
    shown here is a quadrilateral.

    4. Rhombus
    - All sides are equal and opposite sides are parallel.
    - Opposite angles are equal.
    - The diagonals bisect each other at right angles.

    Quadrilateral ABCD has two diagonals in AC and


    BD.

    A line segment drawn from one vertex of a


    quadrilateral to the opposite vertex is called a
    diagonal of the quadrilateral. For example, AC is a
    diagonal of quadrilateral ABCD, and so is BD.
    5. Trapezium
    - A trapezium has one pair of opposite sides
    Types of Quadrilaterals and their Properties parallel.
    There are six basic types of quadrilaterals: - A regular trapezium has non-parallel sides equal
    and its base angles are equal, as shown in the
    1. Rectangle following diagram.
    - Opposite sides are parallel and equal.
    - All angles are 90º.
    - The diagonals bisect each other.

    2. Square
    - Opposite sides are parallel and all sides are 6. Kite
    equal. - Two pairs of adjacent sides are equal.
    - All angles are 90º. - One pair of opposite angles is equal.
    - Diagonals bisect each other at right angles. - Diagonals intersect at right angles.
    - The longest diagonal bisects the shortest diagonal
    into two equal parts.

    3. Parallelogram
    - Opposite sides are parallel and equal.
    - Opposite angles are equal.
    - Diagonals bisect each other.
    Theorem 3
    Prove that the angle sum of a quadrilateral is equal to 360º.
    Proof:

    A diagonal AC divides the quadrilateral ABCD into two triangles. q and v are two angles in triangle ACD and p
    and u are two angles in ABC.

    In triangle ABC, p + u + B = 180 degrees {Angle sum of triangle} ...(1).


    In triangle ACD, q + v + D = 180 degrees {Angle sum of triangle} ...(2).
    Adding (1) and (2) gives
    (p + q) + (u + v) + B + D = 360
    degrees so we find A + B + C + D = 360 degrees.

    Hence the angle sum of a quadrilateral is 360º.

    Applying Properties of Angles in Quadrilaterals


    The theorems we have proved can be used to prove other theorems. They can also be used to find the values
    of the pronumerals in a problem.
