Definition A plane figure bounded by four line segments
AB,BC,CD and DA is called a quadrilateral. AB D C * Quadrilateral I
have exactly four sides.
Slide 3
In geometry, a quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides and
four vertices. Sometimes, the term quadrangle is used, for
etymological symmetry with triangle, and sometimes tetragon for
consistence with pentagon. There are over 9,000,000 quadrilaterals.
Quadrilaterals are either simple (not self-intersecting) or complex
(self-intersecting). Simple quadrilaterals are either convex or
concave. convexconcave

angles equal adjacent angles supplementary diagonals bisect each
other diagonals form 2 congruent triangles Parallelogram

Types of Parallelograms *Rectangle I have all of the properties
of the parallelogram PLUS - 4 right angles - diagonals congruent

parallelogram AND the rectangle AND the rhombus. I have it
all!

Is a square a rectangle? Some people define categories
exclusively, so that a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right
angles that is not a square. This is appropriate for everyday use
of the words, as people typically use the less specific word only
when the more specific word will not do. Generally a rectangle
which isn't a square is an oblong. But in mathematics, it is
important to define categories inclusively, so that a square is a
rectangle. Inclusive categories make statements of theorems
shorter, by eliminating the need for tedious listing of cases. For
example, the visual proof that vector addition is commutative is
known as the "parallelogram diagram ". If categories were exclusive
it would have to be known as the "parallelogram (or rectangle or
rhombus or square) diagram"!

Trapezium I have only one set of parallel sides. [The median of
a trapezium is parallel to the bases and equal to one-half the sum
of the bases.] TrapezoidRegular Trapezoid
Slide 11
It has two pairs of sides. Each pair is made up of adjacent
sides (the sides meet) that are equal in length. The angles are
equal where the pairs meet. Diagonals (dashed lines) meet at a
right angle, and one of the diagonal bisects (cuts equally in half)
the other. Kite

Angle Sum Property Of Quadrilateral The sum of all four angles
of a quadrilateral is 360.. A BC D 1 2 3 4 6 5 Given: ABCD is a
quadrilateral To Prove: Angle (A+B+C+D) =360. Construction: Join
diagonal BD
Slide 13
Proof: In ABD Angle (1+2+6)=180 - (1) (angle sum property of )
In BCD Similarly angle (3+4+5)=180 (2) Adding (1) and (2)
Angle(1+2+6+3+4+5)=180+180=360 Thus, Angle (A+B+C+D)= 360
Slide 14
The Mid-Point Theorem The line segment joining the mid-points
of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is
half of it. Given: In ABC. D and E are the mid-points of AB and AC
respectively and DE is joined To prove: DE is parallel to BC and
DE=1/2 BC 1 3 2 4 A D E F CB
Slide 15
Construction: Extend DE to F such that De=EF and join CF Proof:
In AED and CEF Angle 1 = Angle 2 (vertically opp angles) AE = EC
(given) DE = EF (by construction) Thus, By SAS congruence condition
AED= CEF AD=CF (C.P.C.T) And Angle 3 = Angle 4 (C.P.C.T) But they
are alternate Interior angles for lines AB and CF Thus, AB parallel
to CF or DB parallel to FC-(1) AD=CF (proved) Also AD=DB (given)
Thus, DB=FC -(2) From (1) and(2) DBCF is a gm Thus, the other pair
DF is parallel to BC and DF=BC (By construction E is the mid-pt of
DF) Thus, DE=1/2 BC
