Mathematics Solutions from Chapter -1 - Understanding Quadrilaterals
In this chapter, different geometrical figures like polygon, square, rhombus, etc. are discussed in a very simple way with figures and lucid language.
Practice Other Topics from Understanding Quadrilaterals
This topic defines polygon as a simple closed curve made up of only line segments. Polygons are classified into different types based on the vertices such as triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, heptagon,etc.
This topic gives an account of the classification of polygons based on the number of sides they have. These figures are explained well with proper illustrations to make us grasp the basics quickly.
This topic states that the sum of the measures of the external angles of any polygon is 360 degrees.We can find a number of sides of a regular polygon with the given angle. We can find the number of the sides by dividing the exterior with 360 degrees.
This topic explains the types of quadrilaterals based on the nature of the sides or angles of a quadrilateral. Those are trapezium, kite, parallelogram,etc. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel.
This topic talk about the elements, angles and diagonals of parallelograms with the aid of illustrations. Some properties of the paralellograms will also be enumerated here.
This topic discusses some special parallelograms. They are rhombus, rectangle and square. In a parallelogram, the diagonals can be of different lengths but the rectangle has diagonals of equal length.
