    Study Notes

    Interior and Exterior Angles of Polygons

    • The sum of the measures of the interior angles of an n-gon is given by the formula ((n-2) \times 180).
    • The sum of the measures of exterior angles of a polygon, with one angle at each vertex, is always 360 degrees.

    Properties of Parallelograms

    • Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.
    • Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary (sum to 180 degrees).
    • Opposite angles in a parallelogram are congruent.
    • Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

    Testing for Parallelograms

    • If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, it is a parallelogram.
    • If one angle of a quadrilateral is supplementary to both of its consecutive angles, it will also be a parallelogram.
    • If both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent, it confirms the shape is a parallelogram.
    • If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, it indicates the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
    • A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if one pair of opposite sides is both congruent and parallel.

    Special Types of Parallelograms

    • In a rhombus, diagonals are perpendicular to each other.
    • Each diagonal of a rhombus bisects a pair of opposite angles.
    • A rectangle has congruent diagonals.

    Properties of Rhombuses and Rectangles

    • If the diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular, it is classified as a rhombus.
    • If one diagonal of a parallelogram bisects a pair of opposite angles, it is a rhombus.
    • If the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent, it confirms the shape is a rectangle.

    Properties of Trapezoids and Isosceles Trapezoids

    • In an isosceles trapezoid, each pair of base angles is congruent.
    • The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.
    • For a trapezoid, the midsegment is parallel to the bases and its length equals half the sum of the lengths of the bases.

    Properties of Kites

    • The diagonals of a kite intersect at right angles (are perpendicular).
