Quadrilateral

A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides. It is a closed shape where the interior angles sum to 360 degrees. There are different types of quadrilaterals including trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, rhombi, squares, and kites. The Ancient Greeks, particularly Pythagoras, are credited with developing the study of quadrilaterals and recognizing key properties like their interior angles summing to 360 degrees.

A quadrilateral is a closed shape and a type of polygon that has four


sides, four vertices and four angles. It is formed by joining four non-
collinear points. The sum of interior angles of quadrilaterals is always
equal to 360 degrees.

How do you explain quadrilaterals?

Properties of Quadrilaterals
1. They have four vertices.
2. They have four sides.
3. The sum of all interior angles is 360°.
4. They have two diagonals.
5. A quadrilateral can be regular or irregular. A regular quadrilateral must
have 4 equal sides, and 4 equal angles, and its diagonals must bisect
each other.

All About Quadrilaterals


 A quadrilateral is a polygon with 4 sides and 4 corners.
 The word 'quadrilateral' comes from 'quad' meaning '4' and 'lateral'
meaning 'of sides'.
 The interior angles of quadrilaterals add to 360 degrees.
 Any quadrilateral with 4 right angles is a rectangle

Who invented quadrilaterals?
Answer: Quadrilaterals were invented by the Ancient Greeks. It is said
that Pythagoras was the first to draw one. In those days quadrilaterals
had three sides and their properties were only dimly understood.25 Aug

What is area of quadrilateral?

If the diagonal and the length of the perpendiculars from the vertices are
given, then the area of the quadrilateral is calculated as: Area of
quadrilateral = (½) × diagonal length × sum of the length of the
perpendiculars drawn from the remaining two vertices.

What is the history of quadrilaterals?

The origin of the word quadrilateral is the two Latin words quadri, a
variant of four, and latus, meaning "side". Quadrilaterals can be
either complex, also called crossed (self-intersecting), or simple (not
self-intersecting). Simple quadrilaterals are either convex or concave.

How was quadrilaterals invented?


Greek math geek and philosopher Pythagoras is credited with the
theorem that states “the area of the square build upon the hypotenuse of
a right triangle is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares upon the
remaining sides.” In other words, he defined the quadrilateral.28 Mar
