QA – Quadrilaterals

QADRILATERIALS

A four sided closed figure is called a quadrilateral.

Properties
1. Sum of four interior angles is 360 .
2. The figure formed by joining the mid-points of a quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

3. Area of quadrilateral = X one of the diagonals x sum of the perpendiculars drawn

to the diagonals from the opposite vertices.
i.e. A (ϴ ABCD) = X AC x (DE + BF)

Property Parallelogm Rctangl Rhombs Sqar

1. Opposite sides are equal √ √
2. All sides are equal X X
3. Opposite sides are parallel √ √ √
4. Opposite angles are equal √ √ √ √
5. All angles are equal and right angle X √ √ √
6. Diagonals bisect each other √ √ √ √
7. Diagonals bisect each other at right angles X X √ √
8. Diagonals bisect Vertex angles X X √ √
9. Diagonals are equal X √ X √
10. Diagonals form four triangles of equal area √ √ √ √
11. Diagonals form four congruent triangles X X √ √

Cyclic Quadrilateral

A quadrilateral circumscribed by a circle

1) The sum of opposite sides is always equal.

2) Opposite angles are supplementary i.e. add up to 180o
