| The word quadrilateral comes from two latin words "quadri" which means a "variant of 4" and 'latera' which means 'side'. A quadrilateral is a 4 sided figure with 4 sides, 4 angles and 4 vertices. | | The word quadrilateral comes from two latin words "quadri" which means a "variant of 4" and 'latera' which means 'side'.

| + | Quadrilaterals are of different types. Grouping is made based on the four angle measures and/or sides. Each type is recognised with its characteristic properties. The types include regular, non-regular; convex, concave; parallelogram (square, rectangle, rhombus,) and non-parallelograms (trapezium and kite). |

| There are certain characteristic properties by which a quadrilateral is identified. A quadrilateral is a plane closed figure having 4 sides and 4 angles. The sum of all 4 interior angles of any quadrilateral always equals to 360 degrees.This is called interior angle sum property of a quadrilateral. The sum of all 4 exterior angles of any quadrilateral equals 360 degrees. This is called exterior angle sum property of the quadrilteral. The opposite angles of any quadrilateral are supplementary. If any 3 angles of a quadrilateral are known the fourth angle can be found using angle sum property. | | There are certain characteristic properties by which a quadrilateral is identified.
