A quadrilateral has four sides with lengths, two diagonals with lengths, four inside angles, four outside angles, and an area. The angles are the only things you can measure with a protractor.
To determine if it is possible to draw a quadrilateral given four side lengths, you can use the triangle inequality theorem. The theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. If this condition is met for all combinations of three sides using the given side lengths, then it is possible to construct a quadrilateral. If the sum of the lengths of any two sides is equal to or less than the length of the third side for any combination, then it is not possible to draw a quadrilateral with those side lengths.
a rectangle (that is NOT a square) has 4 right angles and consecutive sides of unequal lengths.
Four line segments can always form a quadrilateral, as long as none of them is longer than the sum of the lengths of the other three,
Four lengths indicate that the figure is a quadrilateral. Unfortunately, quadrilaterals are not rigid so that a set of four lengths can give rise to infinitely many shapes with infinitely many areas. This is on the same principle that a quadrilateral with four equal sides can be a square or a very thin rhombus.
A quadrilateral is a four sided figure, so sum the lengths of its four sides.
If you want the perimeter of a quadrilateral, then finding the midpoints is a complete waste of time! Simply add together the lengths of the four sides.
To calculate the perimeter of a quadrilateral, you need to add the lengths of all four sides. If the lengths of the sides are given, you simply add them together. If the side lengths are not provided, you may need additional information such as angles or diagonal lengths to calculate the perimeter. Without specific measurements or additional details, it is not possible to determine the perimeter of the quadrilateral.

A rectangle is generally defined as a quadrilateral with four right angles. No rectangle can have four different side lengths by that definition. Finding the area of such a shape is therefore impossible.
Well, darling, the figure you're describing is a trapezoid, not a quadrilateral, so let's get that straight. To find the area, you can use the formula A = 0.5 * (a + b) * h, where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides and h is the height between them. Plug in the values and you'll get the area in square meters. Voilà!
