    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)
