[MATHS] Shapes and terminologies.

A shape is any plane figure with side and/or vertices.

A quadrilateral is a four-sided figure whose internal angles are 360 degrees. 


A square is a quadrilateral that has four equal sides and four equal angles. The diagonals of a square bisect each other and the opposite sides of the square are parallel.


A rectangle is a four-sided shape where the opposite sides are parallel and of equal length.  The diagonals of the rectangle also bisect each other. 


A parallelogram is a quadrilateral where both pairs of opposite sides are equal. Its opposite sides and angles are congruent. Each diagonal of a parallelogram separates into two congruent triangles. A parallelogram is a convex polygon (interior angles less than 180 degrees.)


A rhombus has four equal sides, the diagonals of the square are perpendicular and bisect the opposite angles. Its vertices are not 90 degrees. The rhombus is not a cyclic quadrilateral (vertices lie on a single circle.)

PROPERTIES OF QUADRILATERALS:

1. Opposite sides are equal.

2. Opposite sides are parallel.

3. Opposite angles are equal.

4. Sum of two adjacent angles is 180 degrees.

5. Diagonals bisect each other.
