can sometimes be called:

QUADRILATERALS

To name quadrilateral,
we use the symbol ⎕(square)
followed by the vertices in
consecutive order,
either in clockwise or
counterclockwise direction.

In the quadrilateral below, let’s name the following:

1. vertices
2. sides
3. angles
4. diagonals of the quadrilaterals
5. 4 pairs of consecutive vertices
6. 2 pairs of opposite vertices
7. 4 pairs of consecutive sides
8. 2 pairs of opposite sides
9. 4 pairs of consecutive angles
10. 2 pairs of opposite angles
Classification of Quadrilaterals
Quadrilaterals are
classified according
to the number of
parallel sides.
Parallel – lines that are in the same
plane that do not intersect.
