It is a 2 dimensional shape with 4 sides
It has 4 interior angles that add up to 360 degrees
It has 2 diagonals
a quadrilateral.
The regular name for a quadrilateral is a "square." However, "quadrilateral" itself is a general term that encompasses various four-sided shapes, including rectangles, trapezoids, and rhombuses. Each type of quadrilateral has specific properties, but they all share the characteristic of having four sides.
Apart from the fact that the shape is called a quadrilateral, not quadralateral, the answer depends on which characteristic you want to measure.
There are many different ways but a defining characteristic is that is has two pairs of parallel sides.
Yes, it is true that if all pairs of consecutive angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. This is because the property of supplementary consecutive angles implies that each pair of opposite angles are equal, which is a defining characteristic of parallelograms. Thus, the quadrilateral satisfies the conditions necessary to be classified as a parallelogram.
While it is true that if a quadrilateral has perpendicular diagonals, it can indicate that the shape is a rhombus, this condition alone is not sufficient for classification. Other quadrilaterals, such as kites, can also have perpendicular diagonals. Therefore, while perpendicular diagonals are a characteristic of rhombuses, they do not definitively determine that a quadrilateral is a rhombus without additional properties being met.
A quadrilateral in which diagonal are not congruent and only larger diagonal is perpendicular bisector of smaller diagonal then it is known as kite -- Mohan S. Vighe
A rectangle is a quadrilateral. As such, it shares the distinguishing characteristic of quadrilaterals with all other quadrilaterals, and has four (4) sides.
A trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides opposite of each other. It is the only quadrilateral with this characteristic.
A quadrilateral with no parallel sides is called a trapezium (or trapezoid in American English). This shape has four sides, and none of the opposite sides are parallel. As a result, trapeziums can take on various forms, but all share the characteristic of lacking parallelism.
If it is a quadrilateral it cannot be "not a quadrilateral"!
False. While all squares are quadrilaterals, not all quadrilaterals are squares. A quadrilateral is defined as a four-sided polygon, which can take various forms such as rectangles, trapezoids, or parallelograms, none of which must have the equal sides and right angles characteristic of a square.
