Study Notes

Understanding Quadrilaterals

A plane curve is formed when points are joined without lifting the pencil and without retracing parts of the drawing, except for single points
A polygon is a simple closed curve made up entirely of line segments
Convex polygons have no portions of diagonals outside the polygon's interior
Concave polygons have portions of diagonals located outside the polygon's interior
A regular polygon has sides with equal length and equal angles
A rectangle has sides with equal length and angles of equal measure
Examples include squares, rectangles, and triangles

Sum of Exterior Angles of a Polygon

The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is 360°
Exterior angles are the angles formed by extending one side of a polygon

Kinds of Quadrilaterals

Trapezium: A quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides
Kite: A quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length
Parallelogram: A quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel
Rhombus: A parallelogram with all four sides equal in length; and diagonals are perpendicular bisectors
Rectangle: A parallelogram with all four angles being right angles; and diagonals are equal in length
Square: A rectangle with all four sides equal in length; and diagonals are perpendicular bisectors

Elements of a Parallelogram

Opposite sides are equal in length
Opposite angles are equal in measure
Adjacent angles are supplementary (add up to 180°)
Diagonals bisect each other (intersect at their midpoints)

Diagonals of a Parallelogram

Diagonals of a parallelogram do not necessarily have equal lengths
Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other

Diagonals of a Rectangle

Diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length

Diagonals of a Square

Diagonals of a square are perpendicular bisectors of each other (intersect at right angles and midpoints)
