Study Notes
- Quadrilaterals are polygons with 4 sides and 4 angles.
- A square is a special type of quadrilateral with all sides and angles equal, forming two pairs of parallel sides.
- Changing the sides of a square results in a rectangle, which has 4 equal angles but not sides.
- Changing the angles of a square results in a rhombus, which has 4 equal sides but not angles.
- When both the sides and angles are changed, a parallelogram is formed, with two pairs of parallel sides.
- A quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides is called a trapezoid (or trapezium).
- The sum of angles in any quadrilateral is always 360 degrees, making it useful for angle calculations in different quadrilaterals, like rectangles, rhombuses, squares, and parallelograms.
