Can two quadrilaterals be mapped onto one another using rigid motions?

As long as the two quadrilaterals are congruent, yes. (Congruency ignores position, including rotation and reflection.)


How do you find a sequence of rigid motions for quadrilaterals?

The answer depends on the quadrilateral. Some have rotational symmetry or reflective symmetry and it is not possible to distinguish between these and translations.

All squares are quadrilaterals. Not all quadrilaterals are squares.


What are fifteen or more facts and features relevant to geometrical quadrilaterals?

You're supposed to ask only one question at a time but here we go for 15 or more questions about quadrilaterals:- 1 Quadrilaterals are 4 sided 2 dimensional polygons 2 Quadrilaterals have 4 interior angles that add up to 360 degrees 3 Quadrilaterals have 4 exterior angles adding to 360 degrees 4 Quadrilaterals have 2 diagonals 5 Quadrilaterals have a perimeter which is the sum of their 4 sides 6 Quadrilaterals have areas with formulae depending on their types 7 Quadrilaterals can individually tessellate 8 Quadrilaterals can be split into 2 triangles 9 Quadrilaterals can be squares 10 Quadrilaterals can be rectangles 11 Quadrilaterals can be parallelograms 12 Quadrilaterals can be rhombuses 13 Quadrilaterals can be trapezoids or trapeziums 14 Quadrilaterals are sometimes isosceles trapezoids 15 Quadrilaterals can look like kites 16 Quadrilaterals can undergo transformations on the Cartesian plane 17 Quadrilaterals are congruent or similar when identical in angles and shapes 18 Quadrilaterals can form the cross-section of prisms 19 Quadrilaterals sometimes have lines of symmetry 20 Quadrilaterals have certain properties within a circle 21 Quadrilaterals can be subjected to trigonometry QED by David Gambell

Why do architects and engineers use so many triangles in construction?

Triangles are rigid, quadrilaterals are not - a square can be "squashed" into rhombus.
