Procedure :

  1. Draw a quadrilateral ABCD
  2. Mark mid points on sides of the quadrilateral
  3. P is the midpoint of the side AB of the quadrilateral, similarly midpoints Q, R, S of the sides BC, CD and DA respectively
  4. Join the points P, Q, R and S form Quadrilateral PQRS
  5. Measure sides of Quadrilateral PQRS?What is you conclusion?
  6. Identify and measure angles of the quadrilaterals PQRS? what is your conclusion?
  7. Identify pair of adjacent angles ? what is your conclusion?
