The word ‘Quadrilateral’ is derived from the Latin words ‘quadri’ (meaning ‘four’) and
‘latus’ meaning ‘side’. So, a Quadrilateral basically means ‘four sides’. A Quadrilateral is a
a geometrical dimensional figure having four sides (edges) and four vertices (corners).
The sum of all the interior angles of a ‘quadrilateral’ is 360°. Quadrilaterals can be regular or irregular. There are different types of quadrilaterals based on their unique
properties such as a square, rectangle, kite, parallelogram, rhombus, and more. It is

quadrilaterals such as mobile phones, laptop, chart paper, books, TV, doors and the list
just goes on.
