Types of Quadrilaterals Square: Quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles (90 degrees) Indicates equal sides Box indicates 900 angle
Types of Quadrilaterals Rectangle: Quadrilateral with two pairs of equal sides and four right angles (90 degrees) Indicates equal sides Box indicates 900 angle
Types of Quadrilaterals Parallelogram: Quadrilateral with opposite sides that are parallel and of equal length and opposite angles are equal Indicates equal sides
Types of Quadrilaterals Rhombus: Parallelogram with four equal sides and opposite angles equal Indicates equal sides
Types of Quadrilaterals Trapezoid: Quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides Parallel sides never meet.
Right-Angle Trapezoid
Isosceles Trapezoid A geometric figure with two sides of equal length.
Scalene Trapezoid A geometric figure with sides of unequal lengths.

Interior Angles Interior angles: An interior angle (or internal angle) is an angle formed by two sides of a simple polygon that share an endpoint Interior angles of a quadrilateral always equal 360 degrees Angle sum is the sum of the measures of of all the interior angles in a closed figure.
