What to Focus On

  • A quadrilateral has 4 sides, 4 vertices, and 2 diagonals.
  • The sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360 degrees.
  • Angle-finding problems often use subtraction from 360 degrees.
  • A trapezium has exactly one pair of opposite sides parallel.
  • The other two sides of a trapezium are non-parallel.
  • In an isosceles trapezium, the non-parallel sides are equal.
  • Both pairs of opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel.
  • Opposite sides and opposite angles are equal.
  • Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

If a quadrilateral has equal diagonals, it must be a square.

If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then it is always a rhombus.

A parallelogram with any one angle 90° is not enough to identify it as a rectangle.
