Good morning class! Today we'll begin with understanding how to find angles in quadrilaterals. Can anyone tell me what the angle sum of a quadrilateral is?
Is it 180 degrees?
Close, but not quite! The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is actually 360 degrees. Remember, you can visualize this by dividing the quadrilateral into two triangles!
Oh right! Because each triangle has an angle sum of 180 degrees, so 180 plus 180 equals 360!
Exactly! Now let's see how we can apply this knowledge. If three angles of a quadrilateral are 90Β°, 85Β°, and 95Β°, how would we find the fourth angle?
We subtract the sum of the given angles from 360 degrees.
That's correct! Can anyone tell me what the fourth angle would be?
It would be 90 degrees!
Well done! So remember, the angle sum property is vital in solving problems involving quadrilaterals.

Letβs shift gears and talk about parallelograms. What do you recall about the properties of a parallelogram?
I know that the opposite sides are equal, right?
Correct! Also, the opposite angles are equal. If one angle is given as 70Β°, what would be the measure of the opposite angle?
It would also be 70Β°.
Right! And what about the angles adjacent to it?
They would be 110Β° each, since they add up to 180Β°.
Very good! So what can we conclude about a parallelogram's angles?
Opposite angles are equal and adjacent angles are supplementary!
Exactly! This critical understanding aids in solving problems involving parallelograms effectively.

Now, letβs delve into calculating areas. Whatβs the formula for the area of a rectangle?
Itβs length times breadth!
Correct! And how does that differ for a square?
Itβs side squared!
Excellent! What about for a parallelogram?
Area equals base times height.
Great job! Now, can someone apply these formulas? If a parallelogram has a base of 6 cm and a height of 4 cm, whatβs its area?
It would be 6 times 4, so 24 square centimeters!
Fantastic! Utilizing these formulas will greatly assist in tackling quadrilateral-related problems.
