Today we are going to learn five quirky facts about quadrilaterals fact. Number one a quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides and four corners a polygon is a flat figure that is made up with straight lines and is enclosed a quadrilateral with four right angles is known as a rectangle and a quadrilateral with four right angles and four equal length sides. It’s a square Fact number two all angles in any quadrilateral shape will add up to 360 Degrees the angle and rectangles and squares are all equal to 90 degrees.
If you know three angles of a quadrilateral you’ll be able to find a fourth as it must add up to 360 degrees in some quadrilaterals opposite angles are equal to one another. to number three The word quadrilateral comes from the word quad meaning four and a word lateral meaning of sides. We hear the word quad used to describe objects with four sides or four wheels all the time an example of this would be a quad bike named because it has four wheels. Fact number four what relaterals can be different shapes and sizes as long as there are four sides and four corners.
We already spoke about rectangles and squares but what other quadrilateral shapes are out there what relaterals with two sets of parallel sides are cold parallelograms in a parallelogram. The opposite angles of the quadrilateral are equal a trapezoid is when there is only one pair of opposing parallel sides a trapezoid looks like a triangle with the top chopped off. A lampshade would be a great example of a trapezoid. A rhombus is a quadrilateral with four sides of the same length an example of a rhombus would be a diamond or a kite.
to number five many objects in your home are quadrilateral waterilaterals that you see in your home are books doors photo frames tabletops and a deck of cards. Why not have a look around your house and see what quadrilateral shapes you can find in your home and garden. Iron, figure out what type of quadrilateral you are looking at? I hope you learned something new and join my five facts about quadrilaterals. See you soon.
