WHAT IS A QUADRILATRAL?
Any four-sided figure.
SUM OF THE INTERIOR ANGLES
The interior
angles of any
quadrilateral
sum up to 360o.
PARALLELOGRAM
Is a quadrilateral
with two opposite
and equal pairs of
sides (square,
rectangle, rhombus).
PARALLELOGRAM
PERIMETER OF A PARALLELOGRAM
Is the sum of
all the sides.

POLYGONS
2-dimensional
shapes. They are
made of straight
lines, and the
shape is "closed"
(all the lines
connect up).
MAIN ELEMENTS IN A POLYGON
REGULAR POLYGON
A polygon
with all equal
sides and all
equal
angles.
Regular polygons are always convex.
The sum of
the lengths
of all the
sides.
PERIMETER OF A REGULAR POLYGON
APOTHEM
The apothem of
a regular
polygon is
perpendicular to
a side, bisects
that side, and
also bisects a
central angle.

INSCRIBED FIGURES
A polygon is
inscribed in a
circle if all the
vertices of the
polygon lie with
the circle.
CIRCUMSCRIBED FIGURES
A polygon is
circumscribed
about a circle if all
the sides of the
polygon are
tangent to the
circle.
