WHAT ARE QUADRILATERALS?

A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon. If sides are parallel, the distance between them is constant, and they will never cross, even if extended.

SIX TYPES OF QUADRILATERALS

RECTANGLE SQUARE PARALLELOGRAM RHOMBUS KITE TRAPEZOID

A RECTANGLE IS
A quadrilateral having two pairs of equal sides that are parallel Sides meet at right angles (90) Diagonals are equal in length

RECTANGLE
In a rectangle the diagonals, besides being equal in length bisect each other. Given: ABCD is a Rectangle the diagonals are AC & BD C Bisect each other at a Point O. D To Prove: (i) AC = BD (ii) OA = OC or OB = OD O Proof: In ABC and ABD B AB = AB --------- (Common) A BC = AD ---------------------(Apposite sides ABCD) A = B = 90 (angles of the rectangles) ABC ABD S. A. S. Rule So, AC = BD Proved

RECTANGLE
(ii) OA = OC or OB = OD Proof: In AOB and COD AB = CD (Sides of the ABCD) D AB || CD and transversal AC & BD Then, ODC = OBA And OCD = OAB Alternate interior angles A AOB COD --- A. S. A Rule So that all congruent part are equal . OA = OC and OB = OD Proved
C

A SQUARE IS
A rectangle having all sides of equal length

SQUARE
The diagonals of a square are perpendicular bisectors of each other Given: ABCD is a Square, Where AC and BD is a diagonal D C bisect each other at a Pont O To Prove: AOD = COD = 90 Proof: In AOD and COD O OD Common & OA =OC AD = DC ------ Two sides of Squire A B So, (By SSS) AOB COD, AOD = COD Since AOD and COD are a linear pair, AOD = COD = 90

PARALLELOGRAM
A quadrilateral having two pairs of equal sides that are parallel Opposite angles are equal Diagonals are not equal in length

PARALLELOGRAM
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
Given: ABCD is a parallelogram where AC and BD is a diagonal bisect each other at Point O D C To Prove: AO = OC or BO= OD Proof: In AOB and COD AB = CD O AB || CD B A CDO = OBA And DCO = OAB ------------ Alternate interior angles So, AOB COD, then AO = OC or BO =OD Proved

A RHOMBUS IS
A parallelogram having all sides of equal length

RHOMBUS
The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of one another.
Given: ABCD is a rhombus. Therefore it is a parallelogram too. C Since diagonals bisect each other, D OA = OC and OB = OD. To Prove: AOD = COD = 90 O Proof: In AOD and COD OD Common & OA =OC --Given A B AD = DC ------ Two sides of this rhombus So, (By SSS) AOB COD, then AOD = COD, Since AOD and COD are a linear pair, AOD = COD = 90

KITE
A quadrilateral having two pairs of equal sides One pair of opposite equal angles One diagonal bisects the other. Diagonals intersect at right angles.

TRAPEZOID
A quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides
