Solution Steps

00:00 Is the quadrilateral a kite?
00:03 2 pairs of adjacent equal sides
00:09 A quadrilateral with 2 pairs of adjacent equal sides is a kite
00:12 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, let's examine the properties of the given quadrilateral:

  • Step 1: Identify if the quadrilateral has any interior angles greater than 180180^\circ.
  • Step 2: Verify if the quadrilateral has two pairs of contiguous equal-length sides, which would qualify it as a deltoid (kite).
  • Step 3: Determine whether the shape is concave or convex based on the angles and diagonal layout.

Analysis: In the provided diagram, the quadrilateral has a vertex that forms an interconnecting internal angle greater than 180180^\circ, showing that it's a concave shape. The sides AB=BC AB = BC and CD=DA CD = DA suggest two pairs of contiguous equal sides.

Based on the properties identified:

  • One angle exceeds 180180^\circ, indicating a concave form.
  • It has two sets of adjacent sides that are equal, confirming it as a deltoid.

Therefore, the shape shown in the illustration matches the properties of a concave deltoid.

The correct answer is thus Concave deltoid.

Answer

Concave deltoid
