Construction of Quadrilaterals and Loci

Content

It is necessary to recall the properties of quadrilaterals.

1. Square: All four sides are equal in length.

   All four angles are right angles.

   The diagonals are lines of symmetry.

   The diagonals are equal in length.

   The diagonals bisect each other at right angles.

2. Rhombus: All sides are equal.

Opposite angles are equal.
