Figure shows coplanar points A, B, C, and D such that no three point
are collinear. The four points A, B, C, and D are the vertices, which are joined by four segments. The union of these four segments is called a quadrilateral. The given quadrilateral can be named by listing its vertices starting with any vertex and writing or reading the other vertices in either clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Hence, the quadrilateral in the figure can be named as ABCD, BCDA, CDAB, DABC, ADCB, DCBA, CBAD, or BADC. Two pairs of opposite sides namely and , and and, while and is one set of consecutive sides. and as well as and are called opposite angles, while and is one set of consecutive angles. The segments and are the diagonals of the given quadrilateral If a quadrilateral does not have any pair of parallel sides, it is called a trapezium.
If a quadrilateral has only one pair of parallel lines, it is called a trapezoid.
If a quadrilateral has two pairs of parallel lines, it is called a parallelogram.
A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides Opposite sides are parallel. Opposite sides are congruent. Opposite angles are congruent. Consecutive angles are supplementary. A diagonal separates a parallelogram into two congruent triangles. Diagonals bisect each other. If all the interior angles of a parallelogram are right angles, it is called a rectangle. If all the sides of a parallelogram are congruent to each other, it is called a rhombus. If a parallelogram is both a rectangle and a rhombus, it is called a square. 1. All squares are rectangles. 2. Every parallelogram is a rhombus. 3. Some rhombuses are rectangles. 4. Not every rectangle is a rhombus. 5. Every rectangle is a parallelogram. 6. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram. 7. Some parallelograms are rectangles. 8. All rectangles are squares. 9. Every parallelogram is a rectangle. 10. Every rectangle is a square.
