  2. Parallelogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram

    A simple (non-self-intersecting) quadrilateral is a parallelogram if and only if any one of the following statements is true: [2] [3] Two pairs of opposite sides are parallel (by definition). Two pairs of opposite sides are equal in length. Two pairs of opposite angles are equal in measure. The diagonals bisect each other.

  3. Euler's quadrilateral theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_quadrilateral_theorem

    Euler's quadrilateral theorem or Euler's law on quadrilaterals, named after Leonhard Euler (1707–1783), describes a relation between the sides of a convex quadrilateral and its diagonals. It is a generalisation of the parallelogram law which in turn can be seen as generalisation of the Pythagorean theorem .

  4. Quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrilateral

    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°.

  5. Varignon's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varignon's_theorem

    The midpoints of the sides of an arbitrary quadrilateral form a parallelogram. If the quadrilateral is convex or concave (not complex), then the area of the parallelogram is half the area of the quadrilateral. If one introduces the concept of oriented areas for n-gons, then this area equality also holds for complex quadrilaterals. [2]

  6. Trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoid

    The other two sides are called the legs (or the lateral sides) if they are not parallel; otherwise, the trapezoid is a parallelogram, and there are two pairs of bases. A scalene trapezoid is a trapezoid with no sides of equal measure, [3] in contrast with the special cases below.

  7. Isosceles trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isosceles_trapezoid

    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 ...

  8. Midpoint polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_polygon

    The midpoint polygon of a quadrilateral is a parallelogram called its Varignon parallelogram. If the quadrilateral is simple, the area of the parallelogram is one half the area of the original quadrilateral. The perimeter of the parallelogram equals the sum of the diagonals of the original quadrilateral.

  9. Equidiagonal quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equidiagonal_quadrilateral

    A convex quadrilateral is equidiagonal if and only if its Varignon parallelogram, the parallelogram formed by the midpoints of its sides, is a rhombus. An equivalent condition is that the bimedians of the quadrilateral (the diagonals of the Varignon parallelogram) are perpendicular. [3]
