### Understanding Quadrilaterals and Triangles 

In this lesson, we will explore two geometric figures: a quadrilateral and a triangle, both featuring specific angle measures and relationships.

#### Figure Analysis

**Left Figure (Quadrilateral BQRT):**
- This figure is a quadrilateral, named BQRT. 
- It has two right angles, marked with small squares, located at vertices B and T.
- Angle B and angle T are both 90 degrees.
- Angle Q and angle R each have one arc with a cross (x) inside, indicating that these angles are congruent (equal in measure).

**Right Figure (Quadrilateral JXGZ):**
- This figure is a quadrilateral, named JXGZ. 
- It has two right angles, marked with small squares, located at vertices X and J.
- Angle X and angle J are both 90 degrees.
- Angle Z and angle G each have one arc with a cross (x) inside, indicating that these angles are congruent (equal in measure).

These diagrams illustrate the concepts of right angles and congruent angles within quadrilaterals, providing a clear visual representation of these geometric properties. Using these diagrams, students can better understand how different angles interact within various polygons, and particularly within quadrilaterals and triangles.
