Quadrilateral

Quadrilateral 

            In geometry,the shapes or objects are classified based on the number of sides.The different classification of shapes

  • Triangle ( 3-sides)
  • Quadrilateral ( 4- sides)
  • Pentagon  ( 5- sides)  
  • Hexagon ( 6-sides)
In this article we are going to  discuss  "Quadrilateral "in detail 

Quadrilateral:

  A Quadrilateral is a plane figure that has four sides or edges,and also have four corners or vertices. Quadrilateral will typically be of standard shapes like rectangle,square,trapezoid

Types of Quadrilateral:

  • Parallelogram 
  • Rhombus 
  • Trapezoid 
  •  Square 
  • Rectangle 
Parallelogram: 

  • The opposite side of parallelogram are the same length
  • The opposite sides are parallel to each other 
  • The diagonal of a Parallelogram bisect each other 
  • The opposite angles are of equal measures 
  • The sum of two adjacent angles of a Parallelogram is equal to 180 degree 
Rhombus 
          


  • All the four sides of a Rhombus are of the same measures 
  • The opposite sides of rombus are parallel to each other 
  • The opposite side are of  the same measures
  • The sum of any two adjacent angles of a rhombus is equal to 180 degrees 
  • The diagonals perpendicular bisect each other 
Trapezoid 
  


  •    Only one pair of the opposite side of a trapezium is parallel to each other 
  • The two adjacent sides of a trapezium are supplementary ( 180 degrees)
  • The diagonals of a trapezium bisect each other in the same ratio

Rectangle 


  • The opposite sides of a rectangle are of equal length 
  • The opposite sides are parallel to each other 
  • All the interior angles of a rectangle are at 90 degrees 
  • The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other
 Square 
  • The sides of the square are equal measures 
  • The sides are parallel to each other 
  • All the interior angles are at 90 degrees (i.e: right angles)
  • The diagonals of a square perpendicular bisect each other
