QUADRILATERALS
AND
PARALLELOGRAMS
 QUADRILATERALS
A plane figure bounded by four line segments AB, BC, CD and DA is

called a quadrilateral, written as ABCD or, ABCD. D C

 TYPES OF QUADRILATERALS

 PARALLELOGRAM- A quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel is

called parallelogram .

 RECTANGLE- A parallelogram each of whose angle is 90 , is called a

rectangle, written as rect. ABCD, etc.
 SQUARE- A rectangle having all sides equal is called a rhombus .

 TRAPEZIUM- A quadrilateral in which two opposite sides are parallel and two
opposite sides are non-parallel , is called a trapezium .
 THEOREMS

i. Parallelograms have –

 opposite sides equal.

 opposite angles equal.

 each diagonal bisects the parallelogram .

ii. Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect

each other.
 C ONVERS E OF T H E A B OVE T H E OREMS

i. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram, if its opposite sides are equal.

ii. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram, if its opposite angles are equal.
iii. If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other then the
quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
iv. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram, if its one pair of opposite sides are
equal and parallel.
 THEOREMS

1. Diagonals of a rectangle are equal.

2. Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each

other.

3. Diagonals of a square are equal and perpendicular to

each other.
 CONVERSE OF THE ABOVE
THEOREMS

1. If the two diagonals of a parallelogram are equal, then the

parallelogram is a rectangle.
2. If the diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular to each
other, then it is a rhombus.
3. If the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal and intersect at
right angles then the parallelogram is a square.
 INTERCEPT THEOREM

If there are three lines and the intercepts

made by them on one transversal are equal
then the intercepts on any other transversal
are also equal.
