Key concepts: Understanding Quadrilaterals (Class 8 Mathematics)
This chapter covers polygons, the angle-sum properties of polygons, and the properties of special quadrilaterals like parallelograms, rhombuses and trapeziums.
- Polygons
- Closed figures made of line segments; classified as convex/concave and regular/irregular.
- Angle sum of a polygon
- The interior angles of an n-sided polygon add to (n − 2) × 180°.
- Exterior angles
- The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is always 360°.
- Parallelogram properties
- Opposite sides and angles are equal; adjacent angles are supplementary; diagonals bisect each other.
- Special quadrilaterals
- Rhombus (diagonals perpendicular), rectangle (equal diagonals), square (both), and trapezium (one pair of parallel sides).
Key formulas — Understanding Quadrilaterals
💡 Exam tips for Understanding Quadrilaterals
- The sum of exterior angles is always 360°, regardless of the number of sides.
- For a regular polygon, each exterior angle = 360°/n — a quick way to find the number of sides.
