Chapter Summary
--- PAGE 1 --- CHAPTER 8 QUADRILATERALS 8.1 Properties of a Parallelogram You have already studied quadrilaterals and their types in Class VIII. A quadrilateral has four sides, four angles and four vertices. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. Let us perform an activity. Cut out a parallelogram from a sheet of paper and cut it along a diagonal (see Fig. 8.1). You obtain two triangles. What can you say about these triangles? Place one triangle over the other. Turn one around, if necessary. What do you observe? Observe that the two triangles are congruent to each other. D C . . . . . . . . A . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . B Fig. 8.1 Repeat this activity with some more parallelograms. Each time you will observe that each diagonal divides the p…
