Study Notes
Parallelogram
- A four-sided figure (quadrilateral) with opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length.
- Opposite angles are equal, and adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to 180 degrees).
- Area is calculated as base multiplied by height.
Rectangle
- A specific type of parallelogram where all angles are right angles (90 degrees).
- Opposite sides are equal in length, like all parallelograms.
- Has equal diagonals that bisect each other.
Rhombus
- A type of parallelogram with all sides equal in length.
- Opposite angles are equal, similar to other parallelograms.
- Diagonals bisect each other at right angles and are not necessarily equal, unlike rectangles.
Square
- A special case of both rectangle and rhombus.
- All sides are equal, and all angles are right angles.
- Diagonals are equal, bisect each other, and create four right-angled triangles within the square.
