1. Characterize the quadrilaterals:

  • square
  • rectangle
  • rhombus
  • trapezoid
Solution:

quadrilateral1

2. In a rhombus with area S = 864 cm2, one diagonal is 12 cm shorter than the other.

Determine the lengths of the diagonals and the side of the rhombus.
Solution:
quadrilateral2

In the rhombus, the diagonals are u1 = 48 cm, u2 = 36 cm.
Side a = 30 cm.

3. A rectangle has a perimeter O = 46 cm and a diagonal u = 17 cm.

Calculate its area.
Solution:

5. A regular hexagon is inscribed in a circle with radius r.

Derive the formula for the perimeter and area of a regular hexagon. (r = a)
What is the side length of a regular hexagon whose area is S = 93.42 cm2?
Solution:

quadrilateral5

The side of the regular hexagon is a = 6 cm.

6. An isosceles trapezoid has a lower base c = 2.9 cm, height v = 7.5 cm, and angle α = 35°.

Calculate its area and perimeter.
Solution:
quadrilateral6

The perimeter of the isosceles trapezoid is 53.2 cm and the area is 102 cm2.

7. Trapezoid ABCD has an area S = 7.2 cm2, bases AB = 1.4 cm, CD = 0.6 cm.

Calculate the area of triangle ΔACD.
Solution:
quadrilateral7

The area of triangle ΔABC is S = 21.6 cm2.

8. The height and parallel sides of a trapezoid are in the ratio v:a:c = 2:3:5, and its area is S = 512 cm2.

Calculate the height and the parallel sides.
Solution:

v = 2x = 2·8 = 16
a = 3x = 3·8 = 24
c = 5x = 5·8 = 40

v = 16 cm, a = 24 cm, c = 40 cm

9. A rectangle has a diagonal u = 34 cm. If each of its sides is increased by 4 cm, its area increases by 200 cm2.

Determine the dimensions of the rectangle.
Solution:

quadrilateral9

The dimensions of the rectangle are a = 30 cm, b = 16 cm.

10. A trapezoid has a top base c = 33 cm and height v = 15 cm. The other three sides are equal.

Calculate the perimeter of the trapezoid.
Solution:

quadrilateral10

The perimeter of the trapezoid is O = 84 cm.
