Lesson 1

Identifying and Naming Quadrilaterals.

A quadrilateral is a polygon of four sides

Examples:

M O D E O
O L

A D E R P M E

You can name a quadrilateral by its vertices. The order of vertices is very important.
You read or write the four letters clockwise or counterclockwise.

Examples: R O
You can name a quadrilateral at the
right as.

ROSE or OSER or SERO or EROS

Or RESO or ESOR or SORE or ORES
E S

The name of this quadrilateral can be: K L
KLMN or LMNK or MNKL or NKLM
Or NMLK or MLKN or LKNM or KNML

N M

Lesson 2
Parts of a Quadrilateral

A quadrilateral has the following parts:

4 sides
4 vertices
4 angles
2 diagonals

You can take a look on quadrilateral LOVE L

5
  the sides are: LO , OV , EV , LE
 the vertices are: L, O, V, E
 the angles are L , O , V , E
 the diagonals are LV & OE
diagonals are segments joining opposite vertices.

The vertices E and O; L and V are opposite vertices. Vertices L and O, O and V, V
and E, E and L are consecutive vertices.

Two sides with a common vertex like LO and OV are consecutive sides. So,
OV and VE , VE and EL , EL and LO are other pairs of consecutive sides. On the
otherhand, LO and EV , OV and LE are opposite sides.

Two angles with a common side like L and O are consecutive angles, the
others are O and V , V and E , E and L , on the other hand, E and
O ; L and V are opposite angles.

Try this out C O

As you can see the diagram of the different kinds of quadrilaterals, you can
notice the characteristics of the sides of each quadrilateral.

 Before you proceed to the definition of each quadrilateral, you must know first the
meaning of the following:
N
A line
i. parallel two lines are parallel if they are coplanar and they do esnot
meet.
ii. perpendicular lines two lines are perpendicular if they intersect and form a right
angle.

Examples:

1. two lines are parallel if they are coplanar

and they do not meet.
