Introduction |
| |
Rectilinear Figure : A plane figure bounded by straight lines is called a rectilinear figure. |
 |
Theorem1 |
| |
In a polygon of 'n' sides, the sum of the interior angles is equal to (2n - 4) right angles. |
 |
Quadrilaterals |
| |
A quadrilateral is a polygon having 4 sides. ABCD is a quadrilateral and AC and BD are its diagonals. |
 |
Theorem2 |
| |
The opposite sides and angles of a parallelogram are equal. |
 |
Theorem3 |
| |
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. |
 |
Theorem4 |
| |
If a pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral is equal and parallel, it is a parallelogram. |
 |
Theorem5 |
| |
A rhombus is a parallelogram whose diagonals meet at right angles. |
 |

 |
Construction of Special types of Quadrilaterals (cont..) |
| |
(a) Construction of a Regular Hexagon. (b) Construction of a Regular Pentagon. |
 |
Summary |
| |
If the sides of a convex polygon are produced, in order, the sum of the exterior angles is 4 right angles. |
