Page 1: Introduction to Quadrilaterals

A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon with four vertices and four angles.

Sum of interior angles = 360°.

This chapter covers properties of special quadrilaterals, theorems on parallelograms, and the mid-point theorem.

Page 2: Types of Quadrilaterals

• Trapezium: At least one pair of parallel sides.
• Parallelogram: Both pairs parallel.
• Rectangle: Parallelogram with 90° angles.
• Rhombus: Parallelogram with all sides equal.
• Square: Rhombus with 90° angles (or rectangle with equal sides).
• Kite: Two pairs of adjacent equal sides.

Page 3: Angle Sum Property

Sum of interior angles in any quadrilateral = 360°.

Proof: Draw one diagonal → two triangles → 180° × 2 = 360°.

Page 4: Properties of Parallelogram

• Opposite sides equal and parallel
• Opposite angles equal
• Consecutive angles supplementary (180°)
• Diagonals bisect each other

Page 10: Mid-Point Theorem

Converse also true.

Page 11: Properties of Special Quadrilaterals

• Rectangle: All angles 90°, diagonals equal and bisect
• Rhombus: All sides equal, diagonals bisect angles and perpendicular
• Square: All properties of rectangle + rhombus
• Kite: Diagonals perpendicular, one bisected
