What similarities and differences can you see

looking at these rectangles?

• A rectangle has four sides.

• Opposite sides of a rectangle are the same length (congruent). This is

shown by matching short, straight lines.

• Opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel. This is shown by matching

arrows.

• A rectangle has four right angles.

• The angles of a rectangle are all congruent (the same size and

measure.)

• Opposite angles of a rectangle are congruent.

• The interior angles measure 360° in total.

Quadrilaterals

A rectangle is a quadrilateral.

A quadrilateral is a 4-sided, 2d shape.

All of the interior (inside) angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360°.

We are going to look at some other quadrilaterals today.

Quadrilaterals

4 equal parallel sides.

4 right angles (90°).

Square

Quadrilaterals

2 pairs of parallel sides.

4 right angles (90°).

Rectangle

Quadrilaterals

All sides are equal.

Diagonally opposite angles are equal.

Rhombus

Quadrilaterals

2 pairs of equal parallel sides

Diagonally opposite angles are equal

Parallelogram

Quadrilaterals

1 pair of sides are parallel.

Irregular Trapezium

Quadrilaterals

Horizontally opposite angles are equal.

2 pairs of equal sides.

Kite

Quadrilaterals

1 pair of sides are parallel.

1 pair of the sides are the same length.

The angles on either side of the parallel sides are equal.

Finding Missing Angles

We can use the known properties of quadrilaterals (and the known fact

that the interior angles of quadrilaterals always measure 360°) to find

missing angles in these shapes.

Step 1 – Think about the properties of the shape.

This shape is a rhombus.

I know that a rhombus has

diagonally opposite equal

angles.

??

65°115°





Step 2 – Apply the known facts to the shape.

I can see that I have one of each of

the diagonal angles.

So I can reason that the missing

angles are 65° and 115°.

115°65°

65°115°





Step 3 – Check that the total of the angles equals 360°.

115° + 115° + 65° + 65° = 360

I have found the missing angles!

Let’s put this learning to the test

1. Are these properties always (A), sometimes (S) or never true (N) for each

quadrilateral? Copy and complete the table using the right letter.

8. Samira is correct. We can use the information given to work out the missing

angle. The missing angle is 92°.

9. The lengths of the lines do not make any difference to the size of the angles.

Well done you have used known properties of quadrilaterals to

find missing lengths and angles!
