Quadrilateral is any figure that has 4 sides and whose interior angles are 360 degrees. Quadrilaterals are divided into several categories such as:

Square: A square is a quadrilateral, or a special type of parallelogram, with all of its sides equal.
Rectangle: A rectangle is a quadrilateral with parallel and equal opposite sides.
Parallelogram: A quadrilateral with opposite parallel sides is known as a parallelogram (and therefore opposite angles equal).
Rhombus: A quadrilateral with four equal-length sides is known as a rhombus. Because of its characteristic of equality of length, it is also known as an equilateral quadrilateral.
Trapezoid: A trapezium is a quadrilateral having at least one pair of parallel sides that is convex in shape.

Area of Square = a²

Area of Rectabgle = Length x Breadth

Area of Parallelogram = Base x height

Area of Rhombus = ½ x diagonal 1 x diagonal 2

Area of Trapezium = ½ x (a + b) x h
