The word quadrilateral<\/em><\/strong> has come from two Latin words namely quadri<\/em><\/strong> (means a four<\/em><\/strong>) and latus<\/em><\/strong> (means a side<\/em><\/strong>). Together a quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides. i.e. it\u2019s a closed figure with 4 sides. A quadrilateral has 4 interior angles which add upto 360 degrees. There are different quadrilaterals which are classified into categories basing on their sides and angles which are listed below.<\/p>\n

a)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Rectangle:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a rectangle, all four angles are right angles and the opposite sides are equal in length.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

b)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Square:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a square all four angles are right angles and all the sides are equal in length.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

c)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Rhombus:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a rhombus also all the sides are equal in length and the opposite sides are parallel. But the angles are not right angles. \u00a0The opposite angles are equal. In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect each other at right angles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

d)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Parallelogram:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a parallelogram, opposite sides and opposite angles are same.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

e)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Kite:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A kite has two pairs of adjacent sides. Here, the adjacent sides are equal in length. In a kite, the diagonals intersect at right angles.\u00a0 Also, the short diagonal is bisected by the longer one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

f)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Trapezium:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a trapezium, one paid of opposite sides are parallel. A trapezium is called an isosceles trapezium if the sides that are not parallel are equal in length.<\/p>\n
