8.3 Clasifying Quadrilaterals

A quadrilateral is a 2D shape with four straight sides. A diagonal is a line that joins to opposite corners of quadrilateral. Every quadrilateral has two diagonals. The diagonals always cut (cross) each other.







In some quadrilaterals the diagonal bisect each other. The word 'bisect' means to cut in half.

Here is some example of quadrilaterals:


















Here is some of  quadrilaterals characteristics:

A Square Has:
  • all sides has the same length.
  • 2 pairs of parallel sides.
  • all angles 90 degrees.
  • diagonals that bisects each other at 90 degrees.
  • 4 lines of symmetry.
  • order 4 rotational symmetry.



A Rectangle Has:
  • 2 pairs of sides of equal length
  • 2 pairs of parallel sides
  • all angles 90 degrees
  • diagonals that bisects other
  • 2 lines of symmetry
  • order 2 rotational symmetry
A Rhombus Has:
  • all sides has the same length
  • 2 pairs of parallel sides
  • opposite angles equal
  • diagonal that bisect each other at 90 degrees
  • 2 lines of symmetry
  • order 2 rotatinal symmetry



A Parallelorgram Has:
  • 2 pairs of sides of equal length
  • 2 pairs of parallel sides
  • opposite angles equal
  • diagonals that bisects each other
  • no lines of symmetry
  • order 2 rotational symmetry


A Kite Has :

  • 2 pairs of equal sides
  • no parallel sides
  • 1 pair of equal angles
  • 1 diagonal that bisects each other
  • diagonals that cross at 90 degrees
  • 1 line of symmetry
  • order 1 rotational symmetry
A Trapezium Has:
  • sides of different lengths
  • 1 pair of parallel sides
  • angles of different sizes
  • no lines of symmetry
  • order 1 rotational symmetry





A Isosceles Traapezium Has:
  • 2 sides the same length
  • 1 pair of parallel sides
  •  2 pairs of equal angles
  •  1 line of symmetry
  • order 1 rotational symmetry
