Worksheet # 14-A

Student’s Name: ___________________ Date: ___________

Objective:
By completing this worksheet, you will be able to:

 Construct quadrilaterals and solve related

problems.
 Construct regular/irregular quadrilaterals.

 A Quadrilateral (quad means four, lateral means side) has four-sides. It is 2-

dimensional (a flat shape), closed (the lines joined up), and has straight sides.

 If the line XY is the perpendicular

bisector of a line segment AB, then,

o XY ⊥ AB
o XY passes through the midpoint of
AB.

 If the ray AX is the angle bisector of ∠BAC, then ∠BAX = ∠CAX.

 Watch the given web link for construction of square and rectangle.
