A quadrilateral<\/strong> is a closed polygon with four sides, four vertices, and four angles<\/strong>. It is one of the basic shapes in geometry and includes different types such as squares, rectangles, parallelograms, rhombuses, and trapeziums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the important properties of quadrilaterals is the concept of adjacent sides<\/strong>, which helps in understanding their structure and classification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Definition of Adjacent Sides in a Quadrilateral<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent sides<\/strong> of a quadrilateral are two sides that share a common vertex<\/strong>. They are next to each other and form an angle at the vertex they meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, in a quadrilateral ABCD<\/strong>, the sides AB and BC<\/strong> are adjacent because they meet at vertex B<\/strong>. Similarly, the pairs BC and CD<\/strong>, CD and DA<\/strong>, and DA and AB<\/strong> are also adjacent sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
