• Quad means four and lateral means sides. All closed figures with four sides are called Quadrilaterals.
• Every quadrilateral has four sides, four vertices and with all its angles adding up to be 360 °.
Types of Quadrilaterals:-
There are six basic types of quadrilaterals. They are:
Trapezium :-
It is a quadrilateral with one pair of opposite parallel sides. In the trapezium ABCD, side AB is parallel to side CD.
Parallelogram:-
It is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite sides are parallel and equal in length.
Rectangle:-
It is a quadrilateral with all the 4 angles of equal measure, that is, each of them is 90°. Both the pairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal in length.
Rhombus:-
It is a quadrilateral with all the four sides having equal lengths. The Opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel and opposite angles are equal.
Square:-
It is a quadrilateral in which all the sides and angles are equal. Every angle is a right angle (90° each).
Kite:-
It is a quadrilateral that has 2 pairs of equal-length sides and these sides are adjacent to each other.
