Properties of a Square
Some properties of Square are as follows:
- All the sides of a square are equal to each other.
- All the angles of a square are equal and of 90° each.
- Opposite Sides are parallel to each other.
- Diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other and are equal.
- The perimeter of a square is equal to the sum of the lengths of all its sides i.e., 4a (where a is the side of the square).
- The area of a square is equal to the length of one side squared i.e., a2 (where a is the side of the square).
Note: All squares are rhombuses but not all rhombuses are squares.
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.
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.
