Study Notes

Quadrilaterals

A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides, four angles, and four vertices.
Consecutive sides share a common vertex.
Opposite sides do not share a common vertex.
Consecutive angles share a common side.
Opposite angles do not share a common side.
The angle sum property of a quadrilateral states that the sum of all interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
A quadrilateral can be divided into two triangles by drawing a diagonal. The sum of the angles of each triangle is 180°, therefore the total sum of the quadrilateral is 360°.

Types of Quadrilaterals

Parallelogram: A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.
Trapezium (or Trapezoid): A quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides.
Kite: A quadrilateral with no parallel sides.

Properties of Parallelograms

Opposite sides are equal.
Opposite angles are equal.
Diagonals bisect each other.

Properties of Rectangles

All properties of parallelograms.
All angles are 90°.
Diagonals are equal in length.

Properties of Rhombus

All properties of parallelograms.
All sides are equal.
Diagonals bisect each other at 90°.

Properties of Square

All properties of parallelograms.
All properties of rectangles.
All properties of rhombuses.

Special Properties of Quadrilaterals

Rectangles, rhombuses, and squares are all special types of parallelograms.
A rectangle has all the properties of a parallelogram, plus its angles are all 90° and its diagonals are equal in length.
A rhombus has all the properties of a parallelogram, plus its sides are all equal and its diagonals bisect each other at 90°.
A square has all the properties of a parallelogram, rectangle, and rhombus. It has four equal sides, four right angles, and its diagonals bisect each other at 90°.

Quadrilaterals (Further details)

A parallelogram has four sides and opposite sides are parallel and equal.
A rectangle is a special type of parallelogram where all angles are 90 degrees and diagonals bisect each other and are equal.
A rhombus is another special type of parallelogram where all sides are equal, and diagonals bisect each other at 90 degrees.
A square is a special case of both rectangle and rhombus, where it has all properties of both.
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other and are equal.
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at 90 degrees.
The diagonals of a square bisect each other at 90 degrees and are equal.

Angle Sum Property of Quadrilaterals

The sum of all four interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360 degrees.

Trapezium

A trapezium is a quadrilateral that has one pair of parallel sides.
The sum of the adjacent angles on the non-parallel sides of a trapezium is 180 degrees.

Isosceles Trapezium

An isosceles trapezium is a trapezium with non-parallel sides of equal length.

Properties of a Parallelogram

The sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180 degrees.
