Properties of a Rectangle
Properties of a rectangle are similar to those of a parallelogram:
- Opposite Sides are parallel to each other.
- Opposite Sides of a rectangle are equal.
- Diagonals bisect each other.
- Diagonals of the rectangle are equal.
- Each interior angle of a rectangle is equal i.e., 90°
- The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of all its sides i.e., 2(l + b) (where l and b are the length and breadth of rectangle respectively).
- The area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its length and width i.e., l × b (where l and b are the length and breadth of the rectangle respectively).
Note: All rectangles are parallelogram, but all parallelograms are not rectangle.
Types of Quadrilaterals and Their Properties
A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides, four vertices, and four angles. There are several types of quadrilaterals, each with its own properties and characteristics. All different types of quadrilaterals have very distinct shapes and properties which help us identify these quadrilaterals.
Types of Quadrilaterals and Their Properties
As we know, quadrilaterals are polygons with four sides, four interior angles, and four vertices. With its unique sets of properties and characteristics, there can be various quadrilaterals such as square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus, trapezium, and kite.
Understanding these different types of quadrilaterals helps us understand the fundamentals of geometry and also helps us deal with further advanced topics in mathematics such as trigonometry and calculus.
In this article, we will explore the different types of quadrilaterals, Properties of Different Types of Quadrilaterals, and how they differ from one another.
