- Quadrilateral
A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides (edges) and four vertices (corners). The word quadrilateral is made of the words quad (meaning four) and lateral (meaning sides). So, quadrilateral is simply a four sided figure.
The sum of interior angles for all quadrilaterals must be equal to 360 degrees.
Types of Quadrilaterals
- Square
- Rectangle
- Parallelogram
- Rhombus
- Trapezoid
- Quadrilateral: Square & Rectangle
Square: A square has four equal sides and four equal angles (90-degree angles or right angles).
Perimeter of Square
Perimeter of the square is 4 times the length of the side. For a square of length L, perimeter = 4 * L
Area of Square
Area of square is the square of length of the side. Area = L * L
Properties of Square
Rectangle: A rectangle is a quadrilateral with 4 right angles. It is similar to square except that its sides are not equal.
Perimeter of Rectangle
Perimeter of the rectangle is sum of the length of its sides. Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Breadth)
Area of Rectangle
Area of rectangle is multiplication of its length and breadth. Area = Length * Breadth
Properties of Rectangle
- Quadrilateral: Parallelogram
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.
Properties of parallelogram
Perimeter & Area of parallelogram
The perimeter of parallelogram is sum of the length of its sides. Perimeter = 2(L + B)
Area of parallelogram is multiplication of its longer side and distance between them. Area = L * H
Parallelogram Law
It states that the sum of the squares of the lengths of the four sides of a parallelogram equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two diagonals. If ABCD is parallelogram, then
In case of rectangle and square, this law reduces to pythagoras theorem.
- Mensuration
Mensuration is the branch of mathematics which deals with the study of geometric shapes, their area, volume and different parameters in geometric objects.

- Vedic Maths - Introduction
Vedic Mathematics is a system of mathematics consisting of a list of 16 basic sutras, or aphorisms. They were presented by a Hindu scholar and mathematician, Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaja, during the early part of the 20th century.
The calculation strategies provided by Vedic mathematics are said to be creative and useful, and can be applied in a number of ways to calculation methods in arithmetic and algebra.
16 Sutras translated in English (from Sanskrit) are:
- By one more than the one before
- All from 9 and the last from 10
- Vertically and Cross-wise
- Transpose and Apply
- If the Samuccaya is the Same it is Zero
- If One is in Ratio the Other is Zero
- By Addition and by Subtraction
- By the Completion or Non-Completion
- Differential Calculus
- By the Deficiency
- Specific and General
- The Remainders by the Last Digit
- The Ultimate and Twice the Penultimate
- By One Less than the One Before
- The Product of the Sums
- All the Multipliers
It is amazing that with the help of Vedic Mathematics, you will be able to solve or calculate complex mathematical problems mentally.
By one more than the previous one
1. Square of numbers ending in 5
65 x 65 = (6 x (6+1) ) 25 = (6x7) 25 = 422545 x 45 = (4 x (4+1) ) 25 = (4x5) 25 = 2025105 x 105 = (10 x (10+1) 25 = (10 x 11) 25 = 11025
2. When sum of the last digits is the base(10) and previous parts are the same
44 x 46 = (4 x (4+1)) (4 x 6) = (4 x 5) (4 x 6) = 202437 x 33 = (3 x (3+1)) (7 x 3) = (3 x 4) (7 x 3) = 122111 x 19 = (1 x (1+1)) (1 x 9) = (1 x 2) (1 x 9) = 209
