quadrilateral

100

This quadrilateral is most specifically a __________ because it has ___________________.

1.) Rhombus

2.) 4 congruent sides

100

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: 

1) Opposite sides are congruent
2) Opposite angles are congruent
3) Consecutive angles are supplementary
4) The diagonals bisect each other

100

In rhombus WXYZ, what is the m<ZEY? 

m<ZEY = 90o; diagonals are perpendicular

100

What is the relationship between a trapezoid and a kite? 

There is no relationship

100

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

200
A quadrilateral with two sets of opposite sides that are parallel.

Parallelogram

200

This quadrilateral is most specifically a __________ because it has ___________________ and ____________________.

1) Square

2) four right angles

3) all congruent sides

200

The following figure is a parallelogram. Find x. 

68o

200

Given square LMNO, find the measure of angle LMO.


45o

200
What is the name given to the parallel sides in a trapezoid? 

Bases

200

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. 

300

An isosceles trapezoid has one set of parallel sides called bases and legs that are congruent. 

400

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.
