QUADRILATERAL
Quadrilateral:-
The plane enclosed by four sides
(lines, line segments) is called quadrilateral.

In figure (1) and (2) the sides AB,BC,CD,DA have enclosed a

plane, hence these are quadrilaterals. In figure (1)
AB,BC,CD,DA are straight lines while in figure (2) these are
line segments.
 Facts About Quadrilateral
 A quadrilateral has four sides and
four angles i.e. quadrilateral ABCD
have four sides AB, BC,CD,DA and
four angles ∠A,∠B,∠C,∠D.
 The sum total of four angles of a
quadrilateral is 360º ,
i.e. ∠A+ ∠B+ ∠C+ ∠D=360º.
 The line segment obtained by
joining opposite points is called the
diagonal of the quadrilateral.
 A quadrilateral has two diagonals,
these are AC and BD.
SPECIAL TYPES OF QUARILATERAL

 TRAPEZIUM
 PARALLELOGRAM
 RHOMBUS
 RECTANGLE and
 SQUARE
 TRAPEZIUM

Trapezium:-
A quadrilateral in which a pair of
opposite sides are parallel is called trapezium.

Quadrilateral ABCD is a
trapezium because AB||DC.
PROPERTY OF TRAPEZIUM
In trapezium ABCD, AB||DC and AD intersects them.
Therefore ∠A+ ∠D =180º
(∠A and ∠D are interior angles formed on one side of
the intersecting line)
Similarly ∠B+ ∠D =180º
PARALLELOGRAM

PARALLELOGRAM:-
If both the pair of
opposite sides of a quadrilateral are parallel,
then it is called a parallelogram.

Quadrilateral ABCD is a
parallelogram because
AB||DC and AD||BC.
PROPERTIES OF THE PARALLELOGRAM
 Properties:-
 In a parallelogram opposite
sides are equal, i.e. in
parallelogram ABCD, AB=CD
and AD=BC.
 In a parallelogram, opposite
angles are equal, i.e. in
parallelogram ABCD, ∠A=∠C
and ∠B=∠D.
 The diagonals of a
parallelogram are bisectors of
each other, i.e. in parallelogram
AO=OC and BO=OD.
 RHOMBUS

RHOMBUS:-
A rhombus is a parallelogram
with a pair of its adjacent sides equal.

Quadrilateral ABCD is
rhombus because AB||
DC ,AD||BC and
AB=BC=CD=DA.
PROPERTIES OF A RHOMBUS
• All the sides of a rhombus
are equal i.e.
AB=BC=CD=DA.
• Opposite angles are equal,
i.e. ∠A=∠C, ∠B=∠D.
• The diagonals are right-
bisector of each other i.e.
AC and BD intersect in
such a way that AO=OC,
BO=OD and AC⊥BD.
 RECTANGLE
RECTANGLE:-
A rectangle is a parallelogram
with one of its angles a right angle.

Parallelogram ABCD is a
rectangle because ∠A= 90º
PROPERTIES OF RECTANGLE
• The opposite sides of a
rectangle are equal, i.e. AB=CD
and AD=BC.
• Each angle of the rectangle is
90º, i.e. ∠A= ∠B= ∠C= ∠D= 90º.
(using property of
parallel lines)
• The diagonals of the rectangle
are equal, i.e. AC=BD.
• The diagonals of the rectangle
bisect each other, i.e. AO=OC and
BO=OD.
 SQUARE

SQUARE:-
A rectangle with equal adjacent
sides is called a square.

Rectangle ABCD is a
Square because AB=AD.
PROPERTIES OF SQUARE
• All the sides of the square
are equal, i.e.
AB=BC=CD=DA.
• Each angle of the square is
right angle, i.e.
∠A= ∠B= ∠C= ∠D= 90º.
• Diagonals of the square are
equal, i.e. AC=BD.
• Diagonals of the square are
right bisectors of each
other, i.e. AC⊥BD and
OA=OB=OC=OD.
