Angle Sum Property of A Quadrilateral

The document discusses properties of quadrilaterals. It states that the interior angles of any quadrilateral add up to 360 degrees. It also discusses properties like the Varignon parallelogram formed by the midpoints of the sides of a quadrilateral and properties of diagonals, bimedians, and the centroid (center of area) of quadrilaterals. The document notes that while triangles have a circumcenter and orthocenter, quadrilaterals can be defined to have a quasicircumcenter and quasiorthocenter that lie on a line called the Euler line of the quadrilateral.

Angle Sum Property of a Quadrilateral

A Quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides (or edges) and four vertices or corners. Sometimes, the term quadrangle is used, by analogy with triangle, and sometimes tetragon for consistency with pentagon (5-sided), hexagon (6-sided) and so on. The origin of the word "quadrilateral" is the two Latin words quadri, a variant of four, and latus, meaning "side." Quadrilaterals are simple (not selfintersecting) or complex (self-intersecting), also called crossed. Simple quadrilaterals are either convex or concave. The interior angles of a simple (and planar) quadrilateral ABCD add up to 360 degrees of arc, that is This is a special case of the n-gon interior angle sum formula (n 2) 180. In a crossed quadrilateral, the interior angles on either side of the crossing add up to 720. Angle Sum Property :- The sum of the three constitutive angles of a planar triangle is always equal to 180 degrees or two right angles. And there are two things in it as well. they are diagonal and a exterior angle

The midpoints of the sides of a quadrilateral are the vertices of a parallelogram called the Varignon parallelogram. The sides in this parallelogram are half the lengths of the diagonals of the original quadrilateral, the area of the Varignon parallelogram equals half the area of the original quadrilateral, and the perimeter of the Varignon parallelogram equals the sum of the diagonals of the original quadrilateral. The diagonals of the Varignon parallelogram are the bimedians of the original quadrilateral. The two bimedians in a quadrilateral and the line segment joining the midpoints of the diagonals in that quadrilateral are concurrent and are all bisected by their point of intersection. The centre of a quadrilateral can be defined in several different ways. The "vertex centroid" comes from considering the quadrilateral as being empty but having equal masses at its vertices. The "side centroid" comes from considering the sides to have constant mass per unit length. The usual centre, called just centroid (centre of area) comes from considering the surface of the quadrilateral as having constant density. These three points are in general not all the same point. The "vertex centroid" is the intersection of the two bimedians.[28] As with any polygon, the x and y coordinates of the vertex centroid are the arithmetic means of the x and y coordinates of the vertices. The "area centroid" of quadrilateral ABCD can be constructed in the following way. Let Ga, Gb, Gc, Gd be the centroids of triangles BCD, ACD, ABD, ABC respectively. Then the "area centroid" is the intersection of the lines GaGc and GbGd. In a general convex quadrilateral ABCD, there are no natural analogies to the circumcenter and orthocenter of a triangle. But two such points can be constructed. These points can be used to define an Euler line of a quadrilateral. In a convex quadrilateral, the quasiorthocenter H, the "area centroid" G, and the quasicircumcenter O are collinear in this order, and HG = 2GO.[29] in the following way. Let Oa, Ob, Oc, Od be the circumcenters of triangles BCD, ACD, ABD, ABC respectively; and denote by Ha, Hb, Hc, Hd the orthocenters in the same triangles. Then the intersection of the lines OaOc and ObOd is called the quasicircumcenter; and the intersection of the lines HaHc and HbHd is called the quasiorthocenter of the convex quadrilateral. There can also be defined a quasinine-point center E as the intersection of the lines EaEc and EbEd, where Ea, Eb, Ec, Ed are the nine-point centers of triangles BCD, ACD, ABD, ABC respectively. Then E is the midpoint of OH.[29
