Study Notes

Parallelogram

Opposite sides are both congruent and parallel.
Opposite angles are congruent.
Diagonals bisect each other and form congruent triangles.

Rectangles

All angles measure 90 degrees (right angles).
Diagonals are equal in length (congruent).

Rhombus

All sides are congruent in length.
Diagonals intersect at right angles and bisect opposite angles.

Trapezoid

Contains one pair of parallel sides.
The median is parallel to both bases.

Isosceles Trapezoid

Both pairs of base angles are congruent.
Non-parallel sides (legs) are congruent, and diagonals are equal.

Kite

Diagonals intersect at right angles.
Two pairs of adjacent sides are congruent, but opposite sides are not.

Properties of Quadrilaterals

As one moves down a classification tree, the properties of quadrilaterals become more specific.
True/False questions are often false when going down the tree, while Always is the answer for going up.

Square

A square is classified as both a rectangle and a rhombus, which are types of parallelograms and quadrilaterals.

Tests for Parallelograms

Conditions include opposite sides being parallel and congruent, diagonals bisecting each other, and both pairs of opposite angles being congruent.

Tests for Rhombus

A rhombus can be identified by having four congruent sides, perpendicular diagonals, and diagonals that bisect angles.

Tests for Rectangles

Identified by four right angles and congruent diagonals.

Trapezoid Theorems

Isosceles trapezoids have congruent base angles.
If base angles are congruent, the trapezoid must be isosceles.
Diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent, and the midsegment is parallel to the bases and averages their lengths.

Tests for Kites

Kites feature perpendicular diagonals and exactly one pair of congruent opposite angles.
