    Quadrilateral

    Definition
    A quadrilateral is a flat geometric shape having four straight sides and four
    vertices. It is a type of polygon.

    The word ‘quadrilateral’ is derived from the Latin words ‘quadri’, meaning
    ‘four’, and ‘latus’, meaning ‘side’.
    Quadrilateral Angle Sides
    1. Has four straight sides; if ABCD is a
    quadrilateral, AB, BC, CD, and DA are the four
    sides
    2. Has four vertices creating four angles; points

    angles ∠ABC, ∠BCD, ∠CDA, and ∠DAB


    A, B, C and D are the four vertices creating

    ∠ABC+ ∠BCD + ∠CDA + ∠DAB = 360°


    3. All four interior angles add up to 360°; so

    ∠BCD, if
    ∠ABC = 80°, ∠CDA = 110°, and ∠DAB =
    In a quadrilateral ABCD, find

    100°.

    Solution:

    ∠ABC+ ∠BCD + ∠CDA


    As we know,

    + ∠DAB = 360°, here ∠ABC = 80°, ∠CDA =


    In quadrilateral ABCD,

    110°, and ∠DAB = 100°


    80° + ∠BCD +110° + 100° = 360°
    ∠BCD = 360°- (80° + 110° + 100°)
    ∠BCD = 360° – 290°
    ∠BCD = 70°
    Types
    There are six basic types of quadrilaterals:
    1) rectangle, 2) square, 3) parallelogram,
    4) rhombus, 5) trapezoid, and 6) kite.

    Others Ways of Classifying Quadrilaterals


    1) Based on Angles

    a) Convex Quadrilateral
    It is a type of quadrilateral with all its interior angles measuring less than
    180°. A convex quadrilateral has both its diagonals inside the closed figure.

    Square, rectangle, rhombus, and trapezoid are examples of a convex


    quadrilateral.

    b) Concave Quadrilateral
    It is a type of quadrilateral with at least one of its interior angles measuring
    greater than 180°. A concave quadrilateral has one of its diagonals outside
    the closed figure.

    Dart or arrowhead is an example of concave quadrilateral.

    2) Based on Side Lengths

    a) Regular Quadrilateral
    It is a type of quadrilateral with four sides of equal length and four angles of
    equal measure.

    Square is the only regular quadrilateral.

    b) Irregular Quadrilateral
    It is a type of quadrilateral having one or more sides of unequal length and
    one or more angles of unequal measure.

    Trapezoid and Kite are examples of irregular quadrilateral.

    3) Based on the Presence of Intersecting Sides

    a) Simple Quadrilateral
    It is a type of quadrilateral with no self-intersecting sides. It can be either
    convex or concave.

    Square, rectangle, and dart are some examples of simple quadrilateral.

    b) Complex Quadrilateral
    Also known as a crossed quadrilateral, it is a type of quadrilateral having
    self-intersecting sides. A complex quadrilateral is also known as a crossed
    quadrilateral, bow-tie quadrilateral, or butterfly quadrilateral.
    Crossed trapezoid, crossed-square, and crossed-rectangle are some
    examples of complex quadrilateral.

    Real Life Examples


     Rectangle-shaped objects – Books, tabletops, mobile phones, and TV
    screens.

     Square-shaped objects – Chessboard, wall clock, and a slice of bread.

     Parallelogram-shaped objects – Street and traffic sign, the structures on


    the neck of a guitar, and the United States Postal Service logo.

     Rhombus-shaped objects – Section of a baseball field, mirrors, earrings,


    and rings.

     Trapezoid-shaped objects – Handbags, popcorn tins, guitar-like dulcimer,


    and truss bridge supports.

     Kite-shaped objects – A flying kite, wall hanging, and earrings.
