Quadrilaterals

Cards (9)

  • The part of the plane lying outside the boundary is called the exterior of the quadrilateral. Each point of this part is called an exterior point of the quadrilateral.
  • The sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°
  • The part of the plane lying inside the boundary is called the interior of the quadrilateral. Each point of this part is called an interior point of the quadrilateral.
  • QUADRILATERAL REGION: The Interior of the quadrilateral together with its boundary is called the quadrilateral region
  • Trapezium: A quadrilateral having one and only one pair of parallel sides is called a trapezium.
    A trapezium is said to be an isosceles trapezium if it's nonparallel sides are equal.
    The diagonals of an isosceles trapezium are always equal
  • Rhombus: A parallelogram in which all the sides are equal is called a rhombus.
    Properties of a rhombus:
    i) The opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel
    ii) All the sides of a rhombus are equal.
    iii) The opposite angles of a rhombus are equal.
    iv) The diagonals of a rhombus bisect eachother at right angles.
  • Rectangle: A parallelogram in which each angle is a right angle is called a rectangle.
    Properties of a rectangle:
    i) Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal and parallel.
    ii) Each angle of a rectangle is 90°.
    iii) The diagonals of a rectangle are equal.
  • Square: A parallelogram in which all the sides are equal and each angle is a right angle is called a square.
    Properties of a square:
    i) The sides of a square are all equal.
    ii) Each angle of a square is 90°.
    iii) The diagonals of a square are equal and bisect eachother at right angles.
  • Parallelogram: a quadrilateral in which both pairs of opposites sides are parallel is called a parallelogram.
    Properties of a parallelogram:
    i) Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and parallel.
    ii) The opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
    iii) The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect eachother.
