LEARNING OBJECTIVES

To understand the difference

between the types of
quadrilaterals.
To understand the properties
of the types of special
quadrilaterals.

TYPES OF QUADRILATERALS
In this presentation we are going to
learn some special quadrilaterals:
Rectangle
Rhombus
Kite
Arrowhead
Isosceles trapezium

WHAT IS A QUADRILATERAL??
The word quadrilateral comes
from two Latin words quadri
which means a variant of four
and lateral which means side.
Any four-sided shape is a
quadrilateral.
A quadrilateral is a closed figure
with four angles, four sides and
four vertices

PROPERTIES OF A
QUADRILATERAL
Interior Angle Sum
Property: According to
this property, the sum of
the interior angles of the
quadrilateral is 360
Exterior Angle Sum
Property: According to

RECTANGLE
The rectangle, like the square, is one of the
most commonly known quadrilaterals. It
is defined as having all four interior
angles 90 (right angles).
It is a polygon with four sides, four
vertices and four equal angles.

Properties of a rectangle

Opposite sides are parallel and

congruent
The diagonals bisect each other
The diagonals are congruent
D

RHOMBUS
Rhombus is a 4-sided flat shape
with straight sides where all
sides have equal length.
It is a type of parallelogram.

PROPERTIES OF A
RHOMBUS
A rhombus has
all sides equal, while a rectangle
has all angles equal.
A rhombus has alternate angles equal, while a
rectangle has alternate sides equal.
A rhombus has an inscribed circle, while a
rectangle has acircumcircle.
A rhombus has an axis of symmetry through each
pair of opposite vertex angles, while a rectangle
has an axis of symmetry through each pair of
opposite sides.
The diagonals of a rhombus intersect at equal
angles, while the diagonals of a rectangle are

KITE
A quadrilateral whose four sides can be grouped
into two pairs of equal-length sides that are
adjacent to each other is called a kite.
A kite has 4 sides, 4 vertices and 4 angles.

PROPERTIES OF A
Two disjointKITE
pairs of consecutive

sides are congruent by definition

The diagonals are perpendicular.
One diagonal (segment KM, the main
diagonal) is the perpendicular bisector
of the other diagonal (segment JL, the
cross diagonal). (The terms main
diagonal and cross diagonal are
made up for this example.)
The main diagonal bisects a pair of
opposite angles (angle K and angle M).
The opposite angles at the endpoints
of the cross diagonal are congruent
(angle J and angle L).
Note: Disjoint means that the two pairs are totally

ARROWH
EAD
An
arrowhead is a
type of quadrilateral
with one pair of sides
with equal length
It is also called as a concave
quadrilateral.
One pair of sides with equal length.
It has no parallel sides

ISOSCELES TRAPEZIUM
An isosceles trapezoid is a
trapezoid where the legs
have equal length. It can also
be defined as a convex
quadrilateral with a line of
symmetry bisecting one pair
of opposite sides, making it
automatically a trapezoid.

PROPERTIES OF AN ISOSCELES
TRAPEZIUM
Two opposite sides (the bases) are parallel.
The two other sides (the legs) are of equal
length.
The diagonals are also of equal length.
The base angles of an isosceles trapezoid
are equal in measure
