A plane figure bounded by four sides is
called a quadrilateral.
To get the question right we need to know our shapes and their sides
Yes, that's correct! Understanding the properties and characteristics of different shapes can help us identify and describe them accurately.
called a quadrilateral. To determine the type of quadrilateral based on its sides and angles, we need to consider the properties of each type.
Here are some common types of quadrilaterals:
1. Rectangle: A rectangle has four right angles (90 degrees) and opposite sides that are parallel and congruent. To identify a rectangle, check if all the angles are right angles or if the opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
2. Square: A square is a special type of rectangle where all four sides are congruent. It also has four right angles. To identify a square, check if all the sides are congruent and if all the angles are right angles.
3. Parallelogram: A parallelogram has opposite sides that are parallel and congruent. It does not have any specific angle measurements. To identify a parallelogram, check if opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
4. Rhombus: A rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides congruent. It does not have any specific angle measurements. To identify a rhombus, check if all the sides are congruent.
5. Trapezoid: A trapezoid has one pair of opposite sides that are parallel. The other pair of sides is not parallel. The angles do not have any specific measurements. To identify a trapezoid, check if one pair of opposite sides is parallel.
These are just a few of the types of quadrilaterals. There are other more specific quadrilaterals like kites and quadrilaterals with symmetry or specific angle measurements. By examining the properties of the sides and angles, you can determine the specific type of quadrilateral.
