What is Quadrilateral?

Exploring Quadrilaterals
 QUADRILATERAL
• A quadrilateral is
  a polygon in plane geometry
with exactly four edges (sides) and four
vertices (corners) and four angles.
• QUADRI – 4
• LATERAL – SIDE
• QUADRILATERAL – sum of 360
Types of quadrilaterals
 Exploring quadrilaterals
• Study the figure on the
right
• How many vertices does
B
it have?
• How many sides does it A
have?
• How many angles does C
D
it have?
 DEFINITION
• LET
  A, B, C, and D be four points on a plane. If
no three of these points are collinear , and the
segments , and , only intersect at their
endpoints, then the union of these segments
is called quadrilateral. The points are called
the vertices , the segments are called the
sides, and the angles are called angles.
