QUADRILATERAL AND ITS PROPERTIES
QUADRILATERAL -is a geometrical figure that forms a shape of an object, that defines its external surface and boundary. It also has its properties of colors and texture.
The word QUADRILATERAL is from a combination of 2 Latin Words ‘QUADRI’ which means Four and ‘LATUS’ which means Sides.
It is a closed shape that consists of the following properties:
-Two dimensional
-Four straight sides
-Four edges and corners
-The total angle is 360 degrees.
Quadrilaterals shapes can be found in different objects around the place, as most of the materials or properties of objects are formed with or without a corner.
Some examples are dining tables, pieces of paper, kites, traffic signs, etc.
Here is the list of Quadrilateral Shapes and Descriptions:
- PARALLELOGRAM – Compose of 4 sides in which each of the sides is parallel to one another.
- RECTANGLE- Closed shaped with 4 sides in which they are Opposites in size but the angles in the interior have a total of 90 degrees.
- RHOMBUS – a type of Closed shape that has sides that are equal to each other and the angles placed on the opposite are also equal in length.
- SQUARE- it has a closed shape that has 4 equal sides and all the angles in the interior are measured as 90 degrees.
- TRAPEZOID – the opposites sides are parallel to one another and the interior side adjacent to one another have a measurement of 180 degrees.
Here are additional descriptions of the Properties of each type of Quadrilateral shape:
1. SQUARE -ALL SIDES ARE CONGRUENT
2. RHOMBUS OPPOSITE SIDES ARE PARALLEL
3. RECTANGLE- OPPOSITE SIDES ARE CONGRUENT
4. RHOMBUS- OPPOSITE ANGLES ARE CONGRUENT
5. SQUARE- OPPOSITE ANGLES ARE SUPPLEMENTARY
6. RHOMBUS- DIAGONALS ARE CONGRUENT
7. PARALLELOGRAM- DIAGONALS BISECTS EACH OTHER
8. RHOMBUS-DIAGONALS BISECTS OPPOSITE ANGLES.
9. RECTANGLE- TWO PAIRS OF OPPOSITE ANGLES ARE CONGRUENT
10. PARALLELOGRAM -A DIAGONAL DIVIDED A QUADRILATERAL INTO 2 CONGRUENT TRIANGLES.
