QUADRİLATERALS
Properties
Quadrilateral just means "four sides"(quad
means four, lateral means side). A quadrilateral has:
A Quadrilateral has four-sides, it is 2- Four sides (edges)
dimensional (a flat shape), closed (the Four vertices (corners)
lines join up), and has straight sides. Interior angles that add to 360
degrees
THE SQUARE
THE RECTANGLE
A square has equal sides and every
A rectangle is a four-sided shape where angle is a right angle (90°)
every angle is a right angle (90°). Also opposite sides are parallel.A square
Also opposite sides are parallel and of also fits the definition of a rectangle (all
equal length. angles are 90°), and a rhombus (all sides
are equal length).
THE RHOMBUS
A rhombus is a four-sided shape
THE where all sides have equal length.
PARALLELOGRAM Also opposite sides are parallel and
opposite angles are equal.
Another interesting thing is that the
A parallelogram has opposite sides
diagonals (dashed lines) meet in the

middle at a right angle.
Also opposite angles are equal.
In other words they "bisect" each

other at right angles.
Rhombuses are all Parallelograms!
A rhombus is sometimes called a
rhomb or a diamond.
THE TRAPEZOID
A trapezoid has a pair of opposite sides parallel.
And a trapezium is a quadrilateral with parallel sides: An
Isosceles trapezoid, as shown above, has left and right sides of
equal length that join to the base at equal angles.
