Answer:
Quadrilaterals
The polygons made up of 4 line segments are known as quadrilaterals. They are plane and closed figures with 4 sides, vertices, angles and edges. All the angles of a quadrilateral add upto 360 degrees. There are 6 quadrilaterals:
✔ Square
Square is a quadrilateral with all the sides and angles with same measure. All the angles of a square add upto 90 degrees.
✔ Rectangle
Rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposite pair of sides equal and parallel. All the angles of a rectangle are 90 degrees.
✔ Parallelogram
A quadrilateral with two pairs of opposite sides equal and parallel is known as a parallelogram. The opposite angles have equal measure in a parallelogram.
✔ Rhombus
A parallelogram becomes a rhombus when all its sides become equal in measure.
✔ Trapezium
A trapezium is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides. The opposite set of non-parallel sides complete this quadrilateral.
✔ Kite
A quadrilateral with 2 pairs of adjacent sides equal in length is known as a kite.
