A quadrilateral.

Any #4#-sided polygon is a quadrilateral.

Quadrilaterals take many forms, but their most basic characteristic is that they are a #4#-sided polygon.

In case you didn't know or have forgotten, a polygon is any closed figure created by a series of straight line segments.

In the case of any quadrilateral, there are #4# of these line segments.

Notice that Latin roots:

"quadri-" means #4#
"latus" means sided
