Study Notes
Properties of Quadrilaterals
- A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides.
- The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
Types of Quadrilaterals
- Parallelogram: a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are equal and parallel.
- Rectangle: a parallelogram with all angles being right angles.
- Rhombus: a parallelogram with all sides being equal.
- Square: a rectangle with all sides being equal.
- Trapezium: a quadrilateral with two pairs of opposite sides that are not equal.
Properties of Parallelograms
- A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if:
- Both pairs of opposite sides are equal.
- Both pairs of opposite angles are equal.
- Diagonals bisect each other.
- A pair of opposite sides is both equal and parallel.
- Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Properties of Rectangles
- Diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other and are equal.
- If diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other and are equal, then it is a rectangle.
Properties of Squares
- Diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angles and are equal.
- If diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other at right angles and are equal, then it is a square.
Properties of Rhombi
- Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
- If diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other at right angles, then it is a rhombus.
Midpoints of Triangles
- The line-segment joining the mid-points of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is half of it.
