Introduction to

Quadrilaterals
A quadrilateral is a closed two-dimensional shape with four sides, four
vertices, and four angles. It's a fundamental shape in geometry and is
present in various forms in everyday life.

Properties of Quadrilaterals
1 Sum of Interior Angles
The sum of all interior angles of a quadrilateral is always 360 degrees.

2 Sum of Exterior Angles


The sum of all exterior angles of a quadrilateral is also 360 degrees.

3 Diagonals
A quadrilateral has two diagonals, which are line segments connecting
opposite vertices.

4 Types of Quadrilaterals
Quadrilaterals can be classified based on their specific properties and
characteristics.
Types of Quadrilaterals
Parallelograms Rectangles Squares

A parallelogram has two pairs of A rectangle is a parallelogram with A square is a rectangle with all sides
parallel sides. four right angles. equal.
Parallelograms
Opposite Sides Equal
The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length.

Opposite Angles Equal


The opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal in measure.

Diagonals Bisect Each Other


The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, meaning they divide each other
into equal halves.

Adjacent Angles Supplementary


The adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary, meaning their sum is 180
degrees.
Rectangles
All Angles Right Angles
A rectangle has four right angles, making it a special type
of parallelogram.

Diagonals Equal
The diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length.

Diagonals Bisect Each Other


The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other, as they do
in all parallelograms.
Squares
All Sides Equal True

All Angles Right Angles True

Diagonals Bisect Each Other True

Diagonals Perpendicular True

Diagonals Equal True


Rhombi

Four Equal Sides


A rhombus has all sides equal in length, making it a special type of parallelogram.

Diagonals Bisect Angles


The diagonals of a rhombus bisect its angles, meaning they divide each angle into two equal parts.

Diagonals Perpendicular
The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other, intersecting at a 90-degree angle.

Diagonals Bisect Each Other


The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other, as they do in all parallelograms.
Kites
1 Two Pairs of Adjacent Sides Equal
A kite has two pairs of adjacent sides equal in length,
but opposite sides are not equal.

2 One Diagonal Bisects the Other


One diagonal of a kite bisects the other diagonal,
meaning it divides it into two equal parts.

3 Diagonals Perpendicular
The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular to each other,
intersecting at a 90-degree angle.
Trapezoids

Isosceles Trapezoids Right Trapezoids


An isosceles trapezoid has two non-parallel sides that are A right trapezoid has at least one right angle.
equal in length.
Conclusion and Summary
Quadrilaterals are diverse and essential shapes in geometry.
Understanding their properties and classifications helps in solving
various geometric problems and recognizing them in real-world
applications.
