More Information
A quadrilateral is a type of polygon that has exactly four sides. All quadrilaterals are polygons, but not all polygons are quadrilaterals. The term 'polygon' encompasses a wide range of shapes beyond quadrilaterals, such as triangles and pentagons.
Tips
A common mistake might be thinking that 'triangle' is a broader category under which quadrilaterals belong, but in geometry, a polygon with four sides specifically classifies it as a quadrilateral.
