 Let Us Study

Read the situation in a box. Answer the questions below.

Maria loves to help her mother in the household chores.

One day, Mother told her to fold the dried clothes from
laundry. When she holds the handkerchief, she remembers
her lesson about polygons. She will fold the handkerchief in
other way. She thinks to start folding it on this way.

What kind of a girl is Maria? Why?

What shape did she create from folding the square diagonally?
She produced triangular pieces from a square.
She thought she could also make triangular pieces in a
rectangle and trapezoid too.

So, from quadrilaterals we can make triangles.

Quadrilateral
Let Us Learn
Hello dear! It’s another brand new day! You had already
learned about the relationship between triangle and quadrilateral.
Have you done it well? Try to recall about different kinds of
quadrilaterals because today, we are going to relate one
quadrilateral to another quadrilateral. (Relates one quadrilateral
to another quadrilateral (e.g. square to rhombus). (M4GEIIId-
18.2).
Does it sound exciting? Exactly! So prepare yourself and
start exploring more interesting activities. Just read and follow
instructions carefully and have fun while learning. Good Luck!

 Let Us Study
Read the situation in the box.

BJ was one of the boys who were assigned during the

flag retreat. While they were folding, he noticed that the flag
has four sides and four corners and it is a rectangle. Then,
he carried the Philippine flag respectfully. Do you also show
respect to our national flag?
Look at the Philippine flag and answer the questions:

What is the shape of our Philippine flag?

Aside from a rectangle, what other four-sided shape found in the
flag?
What are rectangle and trapezoid have in common?
How many sides and vertices do they have?
Do they have the same total angle measure?
Kindly name other figures with 4 sides, 4angles and 4 vertices?
What do we call a figure with 4 sides, 4 angles and 4 vertices?

Look at figures and complete the statement below.

It has _____ congruent sides. It has _____ congruent sides.
It has _____ vertices/corners. It has _____ vertices/corners.
It has _____ right angles. It has _____ right angles.

What are their common characteristics? How are they related?
The square and the rhombus are related. Both have four
corners and congruent sides. They are both parallelograms.

This is ________________. This is ________________.
It has _____pairs of parallel It has _____pairs of parallel
and equal opposite sides. and equal opposite sides.
It has a total angle measure It has a total angle measure of
of ____. of ____.

The rectangle and parallelogram are related. Both have 2 pairs of
parallel sides. They have four sides and four angles and four
vertices.

Let Us Remember
A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides, four angles and
four vertices. It can be classified as a square, rectangle,
parallelogram, trapezoid, and rhombus.
Square and rhombus have both 4 vertices, 4 equal sides and
2 pairs of parallel lines. They are parallelogram.

 Let Us Reflect

There are many different kinds of quadrilaterals but not all

have several things in common. Some their common properties:
all of them have four sides, have two diagonals and the sum of
the interior angles equals 360 degrees.
Remember that a parallelogram has two parallel pairs of
opposite sides. A rectangle has two pairs of opposite sides
parallel, and four right angles. It is also a parallelogram, since it
has two pairs of parallel sides. A square has two pairs of parallel
sides, four right angles, and all four sides are equal. It is also a
rectangle and a parallelogram. A rhombus is defined as a
parallelogram with four equal sides. Is a rhombus always a
rectangle? No, because a rhombus does not have to have 4 right
angles. Trapezoids only have one pair of parallel sides. It's a type
of quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram.
