Types of quadrilaterals
There are many types of quadrilaterals. As the word ‘quad’ means four, all these types of a quadrilateral have four sides, and the sum of angles of these shapes is \(360\) degrees.A few quadrilaterals:
1. Square
2. Rectangle
3. Parallelogram
4. Rhombus
5. Trapezium
Let us look at the properties of each of these quadrilaterals in detail.

S. No | Quadrilaterals | Properties | Diagram |
1 | Square | It has four right angles and four equal sides | |
2 | Rectangle | It has four right sides, and the opposite sides are equal | |
3 | Parallelogram | The two sides are parallel, and opposite angles are equal | |
4 | Rhombus | Four equal-length sides and opposite sides are parallel to each other | |
