TYPES OF 
QUADRILATERALS
• The origin of the word “quadrilateral” is the 
two latin words 
quadr i - a variant of four 
& 
• latus – side 
• A closed four sided figure is called a quadrilateral 
• A quadrilateral is a polygon that has exactly 
four sides, exactly 
four vertices & exactly four angles.

Side AB = Side BC =Side CD =Side AD 
<A = < B = <C = <D = 90°
A quadrilateral with all sides 
congruent and each angle a 
right angle is called a square.
l (AC) = l (BD) 
l (AO) = l (OC) , l (BO) = l (OD) 
m <AOD = m <DOC = m <BOC = m <BOA = 90°
<P = <Q = <R = <S = 90° 
Side PQ = Side SR , Side PS = Side QR
A quadrilateral with each angle 
a right angle and opposite sides 
congruent is called a rectangle.
Side PQ = Side SR , Side PS = Side QR 
Diagonal PR = Diagonal QS 
l (PO) = l (OR) , l (SO) = l (OQ)
Side PQ = Side QR = Side RS = Side PS
A quadrilateral having all 
sides congruent is called a 
rhombus.

l (PO) = l (OR) , l (QO) = l (OS) 
m <POS = m <SOR = m <ROQ = m <QOP = 90° 
m <SPQ = m <SRQ , m <PSR = m <PQR

opposite sides parallel is 
called a parallelogram.
