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).
