 Objectives
• Define Quadrilateral
• Classify Quadrilaterals
• Give the characteristic or properties of each
classification of quadrilaterals and its sub
classification.
 Quadrilateral
• a quadrilateral is a polygon with 4 sides.
 Quadrilaterals
• Two-dimensional,
closed shape
• Four straight sides
and four angles
• Sum of angles: 360⁰
• Diagonals AC, BD
o Line segment from
one vertex to the
opposite vertex
• Seven types of
quadrilaterals
 Specific Quadrilaterals
• There are several specific types of quadrilaterals.
They are classified based on their sides or angles.

A square is a specific case of both a

rhombus AND a rectangle, having four
right angles and 4 congruent sides. Square

An kite is a quadrilateral Trapezoid

with NO parallel sides but 2
pairs of adjacent congruent
sides.

Square
 KITE
• Kite
o Two pairs of adjacent sides are equal in length
o One pair of opposite angles (the ones that are
between the sides of unequal length) are equal
in size.
o One diagonal bisects the other.
o Diagonals intersect at
right angles.

 Other Type of
Quadrilateral

• Irregular quadrilaterals
o No specifications
Area of Quadrilaterals
• Area is measured in square units
o Number of squares required to cover the
surface

• Be consistent with units

o Example: If a rectangle is 6 inches wide and
4 feet long, what is the area?
• Solution: Must convert units to make both
measurements consistent. 6 inches = ½ feet
o ½ ft x 4 ft = 2 ft²
o Area = 2 ft²
Area of Quadrilaterals
Type of Quadrilateral Area Formula
Parallelogram A = bh
Rectangle A = bh
Square A = s²
Rhombus A = bh
Trapezoid A = (1/2)h(b1 + b2)
Kite A = (1/2)(d1*d2)
Irregular Break into parts & add

Key:
b – base
h – height
s – side
b1/b2 – base1/base2
d1/d2 – diagonal1/diagonal2
 Example -
Find the Area of the given
Quadrilateral
6cm

• A = (1/2)h(b1 + b2)
4cm = (1/2)(4)(9 + 6)
= (1/2)(60)
= 30 cm ²
