Properties of Quadrilaterals

Important

Parallelogram:
1. Opposite sides are equal and parallel.
2. Opposite angles are equal.
3. Adjacent angles are supplementary.
4. Diagonals bisect each other.

Rhombus:
1. A parallelogram with all sides equal.
2. Opposite angles are equal.
3. Diagonals are perpendicular and bisect each other.
4. Diagonals are not equal.

Rectangle:
1. A parallelogram with all angles equal to 90Β°.
2. Opposite sides are equal and parallel.
3. Diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other.

Square:
1. A quadrilateral with all sides equal and all angles equal to 90Β°.
2. Diagonals are equal, perpendicular, and bisect each other.

Kite:
1. A quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent equal sides.
2. One pair of opposite angles is equal.
3. Diagonals are perpendicular.
4. The longer diagonal bisects the shorter diagonal.

    Question 1

    A park is shaped like a rhombus and has area 96 sq m. If 40 m of fencing is needed to enclose the park, the cost, in INR, of laying electric wires along its two diagonals, at the rate of β‚Ή125 per m, is

    Question 2

    Let ABCD be a parallelogram such that the coordinates of its three vertices A, B, C are (1, 1), (3, 4) and (βˆ’2, 8), respectively. Then, the coordinates of the vertex D are

    Question 3

    The (x, y) coordinates of vertices P, Q and R of a parallelogram PQRS are (-3, -2), (1, -5) and (9, 1), respectively. If the diagonal SQ intersects the x-axis at (a, 0) , then the value of a is
