Step-by-step solution for: Quadrilateral [Explained with Pic], 7 Types of Quadrilaterals
It looks like you've uploaded a summary chart of quadrilateral shapes and their properties. While there isn't an explicit "problem" stated in the image, I can help you understand the content and clarify any questions related to it.
Let’s go through the chart and explain each quadrilateral type, its properties, and how they relate to one another.
---
| Quadrilateral Type | Image | Properties |
|--------------------|-------|-----------|
| Parallelogram | 🟣 (slanted rectangle) | - Opposite sides are parallel<br>- Opposite sides are equal<br>- Opposite angles are equal |
| Square | 🟩 (green square) | - All sides are equal<br>- All 4 angles are right angles (90°) |
| Rectangle | 🔴 (red rectangle) | - Opposite sides are parallel<br>- Opposite sides are equal<br>- All 4 angles are right angles |
| Rhombus | 🟨 (yellow diamond) | - All sides are equal<br>- Opposite angles are equal |
| Trapezoid | 🟪 (purple trapezoid) | - Exactly 1 pair of parallel sides<br>- Sides do not have to be equal |

1. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
- Why? Because a square has all the properties of a rectangle (right angles, opposite sides equal and parallel), plus all sides equal.
2. All squares are rhombuses, but not all rhombuses are squares.
- A rhombus has all sides equal and opposite angles equal. A square adds that all angles are 90°.
3. All squares are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are squares.
- A parallelogram requires only opposite sides to be parallel and equal. A square satisfies this and more.
4. Rectangles and rhombuses are special types of parallelograms:
- Rectangle: Parallelogram with all angles = 90°
- Rhombus: Parallelogram with all sides equal
5. A square is a special case — it's a rectangle, a rhombus, and a parallelogram all at once!
6. Trapezoid is different because it only needs one pair of parallel sides. It doesn’t require equal sides or right angles.

> Question: Which quadrilateral has all sides equal and all angles equal?
> Answer: Square
>
> Reason: Only the square has both all sides equal (like a rhombus) and all angles equal to 90° (like a rectangle).

Quadrilateral
├── Parallelogram
│ ├── Rectangle (right angles)
│ │ └── Square (all sides equal + right angles)
│ └── Rhombus (all sides equal)
│ └── Square (also has right angles)
└── Trapezoid (only one pair of parallel sides)
```
> Note: The square sits at the intersection of rectangle and rhombus.
