Question

Define quadrilateral and its types with properties of each type of quadrilateral.

Answer 1

Hint – A quadrilateral can be defined as a closed, two- dimensional shape which has four straight sides. Its types are Parallelogram, Square, Rectangle, Rhombus, Trapezoid.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Quadrilateral Definition – A quadrilateral can be defined as a closed, two- dimensional shape which has four straight sides. The word “quadrilateral “has originated from two Latin words quadri which means “four “and, latus meaning “side “.
Types of Quadrilateral with their properties -

Name of the Quadrilateral	Picture of Quadrilateral	Properties of Quadrilateral
Parallelogram		Opposite sides are parallel.Opposite sides are equal.Opposite angles are equal.
Square		All sides are equal.All angles are equal and measure ${90^ \circ }$
Rectangle		Opposite sides are parallel.Opposite sides are equal.All angles are equal and measure ${90^ \circ }$.
Rhombus		All sides are equal.Opposite angles are equal.
Trapezoid		Opposite sides are parallel.Adjacent angles add up to ${180^ \circ }$

Note – Whenever such types of question appear, write the definition first and then proceed towards the types and the properties. Draw a table, name the columns as a type of quadrilateral, picture of the quadrilateral and the properties of the quadrilateral. Write the types in the rows.
