The quadrilateral is defined as a closed two-dimensional shape that has four straight lines.

  • It has four sides, four angles, and four vertices.
  • The Sum of the Internal angle of the Quadrilateral is 360°.
  • Few Examples of Quadrilateral are Rhombus, Rectangle, Square, Trapezium.

           Each type of Quadrilateral has its properties.

Key Points

A child of class7 must be aware of the complete properties of each quadrilateral. The definition given above reflects that the child knows some properties, but missed another important part to complete the definition.

  • The rectangle is quadrilateral with four sides, four angles, and four vertices.
  • The opposite sides of the rectangle are parallel and equal.
  • Each interior angle is equal to 90°.
  • Diagonals of the Rectangle bisect each other.
  • Both diagonals of the rectangle are of the same length.

Hence, we can conclude that the child knows some properties, but missed some important to complete the definition.
