Quadrilaterals
We know that quadrilateral is a closed
figure with four sides. But by definition
suppose P, Q, R and S are four points
in a plane such that
i. 3 of these points are not collinear
ii. If sides PQ, QR, RS, SP are such that any of the
two such segments have a common point, it is an
endpoint only.
iii. If we draw a line containing any one of these
segments the remaining two points lie on the
same side of this line and
iv. If seg PR and seg QS intersect in the points other
than P, Q, R, S then the union of 4 segments
PQ, QR, RS, SP is called a quadrilateral.
" is a symbol of ‘quadrilateral’.

(And Interior of the quadrilateral is a convex set
but quadrilateral is not a convex set)
Each quadrilateral has 4 sides, 4 angles, 4
vertices, 2 diagonals, 4 pairs of adjacent angles,
2 pairs of opposite sides, 4 pairs of adjacent or
consecutive sides and 2 pairs of opposite angles.
There are main 8 types of quadrilaterals
(as shown in the figures they are
i. Parallelogram
ii. Rectangle
iii. Rhombus
iv. Square
v. Trapezium (non parallel sides are not
congruent)
vi. Isosceles trapezium
vii. Kite
viii. Kite (with all side, congruent)

Property of a quadrilateral
Theorem 1
[Angle sum property of a quadrilateral]
The sum of the measures of all angles of a
quadrilateral is 360º
Given : "ABCD is a given quadrilateral
To prove : ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360º
Construction : Join the points A and C
9011041155 / 9011031155
7
Proof : In ∆ABC,
∠BAC + ∠ ABC + ∠BCA = 180º
.....sum of angles of
∆ABC .... (1)
and, In ∆ADC,
∠DAC + ∠ADC + ∠DCA = 180º
.....sum of angles of
∆ADC .... (2)
9011041155 / 9011031155
8
Adding (1) and (2) we get
∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠DAC
+ ∠ADC + ∠DCA = 180º + 180º
∴ ∠BAC + ∠DAC + ∠ABC + ∠BCA
+ ∠DCA + ∠ADC = 360º ......(3)
But ∠BAC + ∠DAC = ∠BAD
....Angle addition property....(4)
and ∠BCA + ∠DCA = ∠BCD
....Angle addition property....(5)
∴ from (3), (4) and (5) we get
9011041155 / 9011031155
9
∠BAD + ∠ABC + ∠BCD + ∠ADC = 360º
i.e. ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360º
Hence, sum of the measures of all
angles of a quadrilateral is 360º

Theorem 5
A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its opposite angles

9011041155 / 9011031155
20
∠SPQ + ∠PQR + ∠QRS + ∠RSP= 360º.
…(Angle sum property of a
quadrilateral)
∴ x + y + x + y = 360º
∴ 2x + 2y = 360º
∴ x + y = 180º .....(dividing by 2)
∴ ∠SPQ + ∠RSP = 180º
∴ side PQ || side SR ... (interior angles

Sums
1. The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio
2 : 3 : 5 : 8. Find all the angles of the quadrilateral.
Sol.
The angles of the quadrilateral are in ratio
2 : 3 : 5 : 8.
Let the measures of the four angles are 2xº, 3xº,
5xº and 8xº.
According to the angle sum property of a
quadrilateral, we have
2xº + 3xº + 5xº + 8xº = 360º
∴ 18xº = 360º
00 0 0360
x x 2018
∴ = ∴ =
2xº = 2 × 20º = 40º, 3xº = 3 × 20º = 60º,
5xº = 5 × 20º = 100º and 8xº = 8 × 20º = 160º
∴ The measures of the angles of the
quadrilateral are 40º, 60º, 100º and 160º.
9011041155 / 9011031155

2. In the figure, PQRS is a quadrilateral. The
bisectors of ∠P and ∠Q meet at the point A.
∠S = 50º, ∠R = 110º. Find the measure of∠PAQ.
Sol.
Refer above fig.
According to the angle sum property of a
quadrilateral,
∠SPQ + ∠PQR + ∠R + ∠S = 360º
∴ ∠SPQ + ∠PQR + 110º + 50º = 360º
… (substituting the given values)
9011041155 / 9011031155
33
∴ ∠SPQ + ∠PQR + 160º = 360º
∴ ∠SPQ + ∠PQR = 360º - 160º
∴ ∠SPQ + ∠PQR = 200º … (1)
Now, it is given that Ray PA and ray QA are the
bisectors of ∠SPQ and ∠RQP respectively.
∴ ∠APQ = ½ ∠SPQ and ∠AQP = ½ ∠RQP
∴ ∠APQ + ∠AQP = ½ (∠SPQ + ∠RQP) … (2)
From (2) and (1), ∠APQ + ∠AQP = ½ (200º)
∴ ∠APQ + ∠AQP = 100º … (3)
9011041155 / 9011031155
34
Also, In ∆APQ, ∠PAQ + ∠APQ + ∠AQP = 180º
… (Angles of a triangle)
∴ ∠PAQ + 100º = 180º … [From (3)]
∴ ∠PAQ = 180º - 100º ∴ ∠PAQ = 80º
∴The measure of ∠PAQ is 80º.

3. The sides BA and DC of quadrilateral ABCD are
extended as shown in the figure. Prove that
m + n = p + q.
Proof : Consider ∠DAB b = a and ∠BCD = c.
According to the angle sum property of
a quadrilateral,
In quadrilateral ABCD,
a + q + c + p = 360º … (1)
9011041155 / 9011031155
36
From (2), m + c + n + a = 360º … (3)
From (1) and (3),
a + q + c + p = m + c + n + a
∴ q + p = m + n
i.e. m + n = p + q.
9011041155 / 9011031155
37
4. In a parallelogram ABCD, ∠A = xº,
∠B = (3x + 20)º. Find x, ∠C and ∠D.
Sol.
We know that the adjacent angles of a
parallelogram are supplementary.
∴ ∠A + ∠B = 180º
Put the given values
∴ xº + 3xº + 20º = 180º
∴ 4xº = 180º - 20º
∴ 4xº = 160º
9011041155 / 9011031155
38
∴ xº = 40º
3xº + 20º = 3 × 40º + 20º = 120º + 20º = 140º
∴ ∠A = 40º and ∠B = 140º
Also, the opposite angles of a parallelogram are
congruent.
∴ ∠C = ∠ A = 40º and ∠ D = ∠ B = 140º
∴ x = 40. ∠ C = 40º, ∠ D = 140º.

5. The perimeter of a parallelogram is 150 cm. One
of its sides is greater than the other by 25 cm. Find
the lengths of all the sides of the parallelogram.
Sol:
Consider that the smaller of the two adjacent sides
be x cm.
Then, it is given that the other side is (x + 25) cm
Now, the perimeter of a parallelogram is equal to
the sum of the lengths of four sides.
∴ x + (x + 25) + x + (x + 25) = 150
∴ 4x + 50 = 150 ∴ 4x = 150 – 50 ∴ 4x = 100
∴ x = 25 and x + 25 = 25 + 25 = 50
∴ The lengths of the sides of the parallelogram
are 25 cm, 50 cm, 25 cm and 50 cm.

6. In the figure, "WXYZ is a parallelogram. From the
information given in the figure, find the values of x
and y.
Sol.
As XY & ZW are opposite sides of a parallelogram
side XY || side ZW
seg XZ is a transversal.
∴ ∠ ZXY = ∠ XZW … (alternate angles)
∴ 4y = 28º … (given)
∴ y = 7º
9011041155 / 9011031155
41
Similarly, side XW || side YZ and seg XZ is the
transversal.
∴ ∠ ZXW = ∠ XZY.
∴ 10x = 60º … (given)
∴ x = 6º.
∴The value of x is 6º and that of y is 7º.

7. Prove that two opposite vertices of a parallelogram
are equidistant from the diagonal not containing
these vertices.
Given :
1. " ABCD is a parallelogram.
2. Seg AM ⊥ diagonal BD and
Seg CN ⊥ diagonal BD.
We have to prove seg AM ≅ seg CN.
First, draw diagonal AC intersecting diagonal BD
in the point P.
9011041155 / 9011031155
43
Proof :
P is the point of intersection of the diagonals of
parallelogram ABCD.
∴ seg AP ≅ seg CP … (1)
In ∆APM and ∆CPN,
seg AP ≅ seg CP … [From (1)]
∠ APM ≅ ∠ CPN
… (vertically opposite angles)
∠ AMP ≅ ∠CNP … (each a right angle)
9011041155 / 9011031155
44
∴ ∆APM ≅ ∆CPN … (SAA test)
∴ seg AM ≅ seg CN … (c.s.c.t.)
Therefore, the opposite vertices of a parallelogram
are at equal distance from the diagonal not
containing these vertices.
9011041155 / 9011031155

8. The ratio of two sides of a parallelogram is 3 : 4. If
its perimeter is 112 cm, find the lengths of the
sides of the parallelogram.
Sol:
It is given that the ratio of the lengths of two sides
of the parallelogram is 3:4.
Let the lengths of those two sides be 3x cm and 4x
cm respectively.
We know that the opposite sides of a
parallelogram are congruent.
∴ The sides of the parallelogram are 3x cm, 4x cm,
3x cm and 4x cm.
Now, the perimeter of a parallelogram = the sum
of the lengths of four sides
∴ 112 = 3x + 4x + 3x + 4x
… (given perimeter 112 cm)
9011041155 / 9011031155
46
∴ 14x = 112
∴ x = 8
3x = 3 × 8 = 24 and 4x = 4 × 8 = 32
∴ The lengths of the sides of the given
parallelogram are 24 cm, 32 cm, 24 cm and 32
cm.

Sums
1. Adjacent sides of a rectangle are of lengths 7 cm
and 24 cm. Find the lengths of its diagonals.
Sol.
Consider "ABCD as a rectangle in which
AB = 24 cm and BC = 7 cm.
In right-angled ∆ABC,
By Pythagoras’ theorem,
AC² = AB² + BC²
= (24)² + (7)² = 576 + 49 = 625
∴ AC = 25
9011041155 / 9011031155
53
But, the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.
∴ BD = AC = 25
∴ The length of diagonal AC = 25 cm and that of
BD = 25 cm.
9011041155 / 9011031155
54
2. " ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || DC. M and
N are the midpoints of side AD and side BC
respectively. If AB = 12 cm and MN = 14 cm, find
CD.
Sol.
The length of the segment joining the midpoints of
non - parallel sides of a trapezium is half the sum
of the lengths of its parallel sides.
∴ MN = ½ (AB + CD)
∴ 14 = ½ (12 + CD)
… (substituting the given values)
9011041155 / 9011031155
55
∴ 28 = 12 + CD
… (Multiplying both the sides by 2)
∴ CD = 28 – 12
∴ CD = 16.

Proof : IN □ABED, side AB || side DE.
… (given)
seg BE || side AD
… (construction )
∴ □ABED is a parallelogram.
The opposite sides and the
opposite angles of a
parallelogram are congruent.
∴ side AD ' side BE … (1)
and ∠D ' ∠ABE … (2)
9011041155 / 9011031155
58
side AD ≅ side BC … (given)
… (3)
From (1) and (3),
side BE ≅ side BC
∴ ∠ BEC ≅ ∠C …(Isosceles

side AB || side DC … (given)
side BE is the transversal.
∴ ∠ABE ≅ ∠BEC
… (alternate angles) … (5)

∠D ≅ ∠C.
i.e. ∠ADC ≅ ∠BCD.
[Similarly, we can prove that
∠DAB ' ∠CBA.]

4. The lengths of the diagonals PR and QS of a
rhombus are 20 cm and 48 cm respectively. Find
the length of each side of the rhombus.
Sol.
We know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect
each other at right angles.
∴ MQ = ½ QS = ½ × 48 cm
∴ MQ = 24 cm
MP = ½ PR = ½ × 20 cm
∴ MP = 10 cm. ∠ PMQ = 90º
9011041155 / 9011031155
60
In right-angled ∆PMQ,
By Pythagoras’ theorem
PQ² = PM² + QM²
= (10)² + (24)²
= 100 + 576
= 676
∴ PQ = 26.
But all the sides of a rhombus are congruent.
∴ The length of each side of the given rhombus
is 26 cm.
