Geometry Chapter 8 Review Flashcards

Geometry Figures and Definitions

• A rectangle is defined as a parallelogram that has at least one right angle.
• A rhombus is a quadrilateral where the diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other.
• A rhombus also refers to a quadrilateral where all sides are congruent.
• A rectangle is a parallelogram characterized by congruent diagonals.
• A rhombus has diagonals that bisect the opposite angles within the figure.
• A parallelogram is identified as a quadrilateral with opposite angles that are congruent.
• A kite represents a quadrilateral where only one diagonal acts as a perpendicular bisector of the other diagonal.
• A rhombus again can be defined by its property of having diagonals that bisect opposite angles.
• A rectangle has congruent diagonals and at least one right angle.
• A trapezoid is a quadrilateral featuring only one pair of parallel sides.
• A square is a special type of parallelogram with all angles bisected congruently.

Angle Formulas

• The formula for calculating the measures of interior angles in a polygon is (n-2)*180, where n represents the number of sides.
• The total measure of exterior angles in any polygon is always 360 degrees.

True or False Statements

• Every rectangle is categorized as a parallelogram (True).
• Not every rhombus qualifies as a rectangle (False).
• Not every parallelogram is a rectangle (False).
• Every property of a parallelogram is also a property of a rectangle (True).
• The diagonals of a square consistently bisect each other (True).
