Quadrilaterals |
Square
|
A
square is a plane figure with four sides of equal length and
four right angles. |
The
two diagonals, which are of equal length, bisect each other
perpendicularly. |
The
square has four axes of symmetry. |

Rhombus
or rhomb
|
A
rhombus is an oblique-angled parallelogram whose four sides are equal. |
Rhombus
diagonals bisect each other perpendicularly. |
The
rhombus is symmetrical about both of its diagonals. |

Rectangle |
A
rectangle is a plane figure with four straight sides, two parallel pairs
of equal length forming four right angles. |
The two diagonals of
a rectangle have equal lengths. |
The
rectangle has two axes of symmetry. |

Parallelogram |
A
parallelogram
is a quadrilateral (plane figure with four sides) with opposite
sides parallel and of equal length. |
The
opposite angles of a parallelogram are also equal. |
In
the case in which the angles are all right angles the
parallelogram is a rectangle, and when all the sides are equal
it is a rhombus. |

Kite
or deltoid
|
A
kite or deltoid is a quadrilateral with two pairs of equal
adjacent sides. |
Two
of the angles in a kite are opposite and equal. |
The kite's diagonals cross perpendicularly, and one of them (the shorter one) is being bisected by the other. |

Trapezium
or trapezoid
|
A
trapezium or trapezoid is a quadrilateral with two parallel
sides of unequal length. |
The trapezium's median is a straight line joining the midpoints of
nonparallel sides and parallel to the two parallel sides. |
|
 |
a

a + b + g + d =

Isosceles
trapezoid
|
A trapezoid with the two nonparallel sides of equal length and the angles opposite those sides equal, is called an isosceles trapezoid. |

Cyclic quadrilateral |
A
quadrilateral inscribed in a circle, so that all its vertices
lie on the circumference is called a cyclic
quadrilateral. |
The
opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary. |

quadrilateral. |

Polygons
|
A
polygon is closed plane figure
bounded by a number of straight line segments with the same
number of vertices. |
The
sum of interior angles is (n
-

where n
is the number of sides of a polygon. |
The
sum of exterior angles of a polygon is 360°. |

Regular
polygons |
In
a regular polygon all sides are equal and all its angles are
equal. |
The
exterior angle of a regular polygon is b'
= 360°/n, where n
is the number of sides of a regular polygon. |
