QUADRILATERALS


The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides.


The perimeter of the quadrilateral in the figure above is 5 + 8 + 3 + 7 = 23.


The four interior angles of any quadrilateral add up to 360 degrees.


A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides are equal. The formula for the area of a rectangle is


Area = (Length)(Width)

In the diagram above, ℓ = length and w = width, so area = ℓw.


Perimeter = 2(ℓ + w)
