A self-intersecting quadrilateral is called variously a cross-quadrilateral, crossed quadrilateral, butterfly quadrilateral or bow-tie quadrilateral. In a crossed quadrilateral, the four "interior" angles on either side of the crossing (two acute and two reflex, all on the left or all on the right as the figure is traced out) add up to 720°. [10]
In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is a rectilinear convex polygon or a quadrilateral with four right angles. It can also be defined as: an equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of its angles are equal (360°/4 = 90°); or a parallelogram containing a right angle. A rectangle with four sides of equal length is a square.
Lambert quadrilateral fundamental domain in orbifold *p222 *3222 symmetry with 60-degree angle on one of its corners. *4222 symmetry with 45-degree angle on one of its corners. The limiting Lambert quadrilateral has three right angles, and one 0-degree angle with an ideal vertex at infinity, defining orbifold *∞222 symmetry.
The cyclic quadrilaterals may equivalently defined as the quadrilaterals in which two opposite angles are supplementary (they add to 180°); if one pair is supplementary the other is as well. [9] Therefore, the right kites are the kites with two opposite supplementary angles, for either of the two opposite pairs of angles.
An acute trapezoid has two adjacent acute angles on its longer base edge. An obtuse trapezoid on the other hand has one acute and one obtuse angle on each base. An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid where the base angles have the same measure. [19] [20] As a consequence the two legs are also of equal length and it has reflection symmetry.
Among rhombuses (bottom row), the square is the shape with right angles (blue, middle). Squares can be defined in many equivalent ways. If a quadrilateral (a four-sided polygon in the Euclidean plane) satisfies any one of the following definitions, it satisfies all of them: A square is a rectangle with four equal sides. [1]
Any non-self-crossing quadrilateral with exactly one axis of symmetry must be either an isosceles trapezoid or a kite. [5] However, if crossings are allowed, the set of symmetric quadrilaterals must be expanded to include also the crossed isosceles trapezoids, crossed quadrilaterals in which the crossed sides are of equal length and the other sides are parallel, and the antiparallelograms ...
A Saccheri quadrilateral is a quadrilateral with two sides of equal length, both perpendicular to a side called the base. The other two angles of a Saccheri quadrilateral are called the summit angles and they have equal measure. The summit angles of a Saccheri quadrilateral are acute if the geometry is hyperbolic, right angles if the geometry ...
