Basic Definitions and Angle Properties

  • A quadrilateral is a closed figure formed by four line segments
  • Sum of all interior angles = 360°
  • Sum of all exterior angles = 360°
2

Types of Quadrilaterals and Their Properties

  • Trapezium: Only one pair of opposite sides parallel
  • Parallelogram: Both pairs of opposite sides parallel
  • Rectangle: Parallelogram with one angle = 90°
3

Properties of Parallelograms

  • Opposite sides are equal and parallel: AB = DC, AD = BC
  • Opposite angles are equal: ∠A = ∠C, ∠B = ∠D
  • Diagonals bisect each other: AO = OC, BO = OD
4

Properties of Special Parallelograms

  • Rectangle: All angles = 90°, diagonals equal (AC = BD)
  • Rhombus: All sides equal, diagonals bisect at right angles
  • Square: All sides equal, all angles = 90°, diagonals equal and bisect at right angles
