Get startedOverview
Rectilinear figures are plane figures bounded by straight lines. This chapter explores various types of polygons, with special focus on quadrilaterals like parallelograms, rectangles, rhombus, squares, and trapeziums. Understanding these shapes and their properties is fundamental to geometry and hel
Key Concepts
A rectilinear figure is bounded by
A rectilinear figure is bounded by straight lines. A polygon is a closed figure with at least 3 sides. Polygons are named by their number of sides: tr
A regular polygon has all sides
A regular polygon has all sides equal and all angles equal. Each interior angle = (2n-4) × 90°/n. Each exterior angle = 360°/n. The sum of all exterio
A quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel
