Exploring Quadrilateral Attributes and Hierarchy

The video tutorial covers the attributes of quadrilaterals, starting with an introduction to key vocabulary such as 'attribute', 'congruent', and 'polygon'. It explains the definition and examples of polygons, focusing on quadrilaterals and their specific attributes. The tutorial then delves into different types of quadrilaterals, including parallelograms and trapezoids, and further explores special quadrilaterals like rectangles, rhombuses, and squares. The video concludes with practice problems to reinforce the understanding of quadrilateral attributes.

What defines a polygon?
