Quadrilaterals HTML5

A quadrilateral is a polygon characterized by:

• 4 vertices (or corners) represented by the letters A, B, C, D.
• 4 straight sides which are segments joining the vertices together: [AB], [BC], [CD], [AD].
• 2 diagonals which are segments joining 2 opposite vertices: [AC], [BD].
• 4 interior angles.

The quadrilaterals can be classified into two large families: 

• the convex quadrilaterals: their diagonals cross the interior of the quadrilateral.
• the concave quadrilaterals: one of their diagonals is outside the quadrilateral.  If both diagonals are outside the quadrilateral figure, the quadrilateral is known as crossed (or complex).
