A Parade of Four-Sided Polygons Quadrilaterals: A Parade of Four-Sided Polygons

Quadrilaterals There are many different types of quadrilaterals. We identify quadrilaterals using their sides and angles. Side Angle

Let’s Review… All polygons are made up of line segments and angles. The line segments that create quadrilaterals will be parallel, perpendicular, OR intersecting. The adjacent sides of this quadrilateral are perpendicular. The adjacent sides of this quadrilateral are intersecting. The opposite sides of this quadrilateral are parallel.

Squares A square is a quadrilateral that has four equal sides and four right angles. This square has four right angles and all four sides are congruent (the same length).

Rectangles A rectangle is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of parallel sides that are equal and four right angles. This rectangle has four right angles and two pairs of parallel sides that are congruent.

This rhombus has four congruent sides and two pairs of parallel sides. Rhombuses A rhombus is a quadrilateral that has four equal sides and two pairs of parallel sides. This rhombus has four congruent sides and two pairs of parallel sides.

This trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides. Trapezoids A trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has one pair of parallel sides. This trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides.

This parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides. parallelograms A parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has two pair of parallel sides. This parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides.
