quadrilateral
This quadrilateral is most specifically a __________ because it has ___________________.
1.) Rhombus
2.) 4 congruent sides
Opposite sides are parallel for all parallelograms. Name at least two of the other four properties that are true for all parallelograms.
Name any two:

What is the relationship between a trapezoid and a kite?
There is no relationship
You are given the vertices of a quadrilateral and using the distance formula determine that all sides are congruent. What is your next step? Be specific.
Because the sides are congruent I know that it is a rhombus so I need to determine if it is a square. I would need to either
1. find the slopes of two consecutive sides and see if they are opposite reciprocals, meaning they are perpendicular/ form right angles. this would mean it is a square
OR
2. find the length of the diagonals. if they are congruent, it is a square
Parallelogram
This quadrilateral is most specifically a __________ because it has ___________________ and ____________________.
1) Square
2) four right angles
3) all congruent sides
The following figure is a parallelogram. Find x.
68o
Given square LMNO, find the measure of angle LMO.
45o
Bases
You are given the vertices of a quadrilateral and determine that there is one set of parallel sides (sides with the same slope). What should you do next?
Because there is one set of parallel sides it is a trapezoid. I should test to see if it is an isosceles trapezoid by finding the length of the legs using the distance formula.
What is the term for line segment d?
Diagonal
This quadrilateral is most specifically a ___________ because _________________.
1) Parallelogram
2) Opposite sides are parallel OR opposite angles are congruent
The following is a parallelogram. Find x and y.
x = 31
y = 78
Find the value of z in the rhombus below.
z = 105o
Name 3 properties of a kite.
1.) 2 sets of consecutive congruent sides
2.) Perpendicular diagonals
3.) The long diagonal bisects the short diagonal
4.) The angles that connect two non-congruent sides are congruent.
Find the length of side CB. Simplify your answer.
4√10
A quadrilateral with 4 congruent sides and 90o angles.
Square
This quadrilateral is most specifically a ___________ because __________________.
1) Quadrilateral
2) No sides are congruent or parallel
The following is a parallelogram. Solve for y.
y = 59
The diagonals of a rhombus have what three properties?
1) Diagonals bisect each other
2) Diagonals are perpendicular
3) Diagonals bisect the angles at each vertex
An isosceles trapezoid has ____________________________________________ and ___________________________________________. Your answer must include the words: base(s) and leg(s)
An isosceles trapezoid has one set of parallel sides called bases and legs that are congruent.
Sides DC and AB appear to be parallel. Mathematically how would you prove that they are parallel?
Find the slope of each line. If they are parallel they will have the same slope. They both have a slope of 0.
A square has the properties of what other quadrilaterals?
Parallelograms, rhombi, and squares
Always True, Sometimes True, or Never True:
A rectangle is a square
Sometimes true
The following is a parallelogram. Solve for x.
x = -85
ABCD is a rectangle.
a) Find x
x =-3
DEFG is a trapezoid. Solve for x.
x = 0
Two students disagree about sides AB and DC being parallel. Are they? Prove it.
They are not. Side AB has a slope of 1/3 and side DC has a slope of 1/4.
The diagonals of squares and rhombi cut the angles of all four vertices into two congruent angles. What is another name for this type of line segment?
An angle bisector
Always True, Sometimes True, or Never True:
A kite is a polygon.
Always true
The following is a parallelogram. Solve for y.
y = 90
