Question

What is the difference between a quadrilateral and a regular polygon?

Answer 1

Hint: In this problem, we can discuss the difference between a quadrilateral and a regular polygon. We should know that the sets of regular polygon and quadrilaterals are two different sets of geometric objects, both are subsets of a set of all polygons. We can now see the major difference between the regular polygons and the quadrilaterals.

Complete step-by-step solution:
Here we can see the difference between a quadrilateral and a regular polygon.
We can now see about polygons.
We should know that a polygon is a closed figure whose sides are all line segments or any unnamed shape that is closed in.
Examples of polygons are, triangle, rectangle, square and so on.
We should know that a regular polygon has any number of sides, where the word ‘regular‘ represents the length and the interior angles in equal length.
We should also know that to find the interior angle of a regular polygon, we can use the formula
\[\Rightarrow {{180}^{\circ }}\left( n-2 \right)\]
Where quadrilaterals are polygons with four sides only or which have exactly four sides that are all line segments.
We can now draw the diagram for the regular polygon and the quadrilateral.

Note: We should always remember that a regular polygon has any number of sides, where the word ‘regular‘ represents the length and the interior angles in equal length.
Where quadrilaterals are polygons with four sides only or which have exactly four sides that are all line segments.
