How can you tell if four line segments can form a quadrilateral?
Each of the line segments must be shorter than the sum of the other three.
What is a closed plane figure with four sides that are lines segments?
A quadrilateral perhaps
Does a quadrilateral have 4 straight lines?
No.A quadrilateral is any four sided figure.So it doesn't matter whether one of the sides is curved or straight as long as it is four sided.
Is a quadrilateral sometimes a parallelogram?
Absolutely; a parallelogram is a form of quadrilateral, in that it has four sides. If the four sides come in two sets of parallel lines, you have a parallelogram.
Can a circle be a parallelogram?
No, a circle can't be a parallelogram. A circle is a curve. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides constructed with four line segments. The line segments are straight, and the circle is a continuous curve.

What is a trapezoid'?
US DefinitionA trapezoid is a closed plane figure consisting of four line segments/sides; two of these line segments are parallel (but not equal in length) and two are nonparallel.(in the UK, this is called a trapezium)British DefinitionA trapezoid is a closed plane figure consisting of four line segments/sides; NONE of these line segments are parallel to any of the other line segments of the quadrilateral.(in the US this is just a quadrilateral)*(see the related links for images of trapezoids)

What is another name for a four sided shape?
Quadrilateral. What prefix means four? Quad What suffix means sides? Lateral Now smash them together to form Quadrilateral!
What are lines rays and segments that form four right angles called?
They could be the four sides of a square.
What is the mathematical term for quadrilaterals?
Quadrilateral is a mathematical term used for any figure with its area bounded by four straight line segments forming a closed path.
Can a quadrilateral have each four angles a different angle?
Yes it can. All you need to form a quadrilateral is four sides. The angles can be any size as long as the add up to 360 degrees.
Why is the quadrilateral called quadrilateral?
Quadri means four. Lateral means sides. A quadrilateral has four sides.
