French translation of quadrilateral is 
quadrilatère

Meaning of "quadrilateral" in English

A quadrilateral is a polygon with four edges (or sides) and four vertices or corners. In geometry, quadrilaterals are simple shapes that can be more specifically classified into types such as squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and parallelograms based on their side lengths and interior angles. All quadrilaterals have a total interior angle sum of 360 degrees. They are fundamental in both elementary and advanced geometric studies, serving as a building block for understanding more complex shapes.

Meaning of "quadrilatère" in French

In French, "quadrilatère" also refers to a four-sided polygon with four vertices. The term encompasses various specific shapes, such as carré (square), rectangle, trapèze (trapezoid), and parallélogramme (parallelogram). Like its English counterpart, every quadrilatère has angles that add up to 360 degrees. It is a crucial concept in geometry, forming the basis for learning more complex two-dimensional figures and contributing to mathematical understanding in various applications.
