Study Notes
Parallelogram Properties
- Opposite sides are always parallel, ensuring consistent distance between them.
- Opposite sides are congruent, meaning they have equal lengths.
- Opposite angles are congruent, maintaining equal measure across the figure.
- Consecutive angles sum up to 180 degrees, highlighting their supplementary relationship.
- A diagonal divides the shape into two congruent triangles, affirming the symmetry.
- Diagonals bisect each other, indicating that they split each other into two equal parts.
Rectangle Properties
- A rectangle possesses all the properties of a parallelogram, ensuring its foundational characteristics.
- It features four right angles, reinforcing its rectangular shape.
- The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent, providing further guarantees of symmetry and balance.
Rhombus Properties
- A rhombus inherits all the properties of a parallelogram, ensuring parallel and congruent sides and angles.
- All sides of the rhombus are congruent, showcasing equality in length across all edges.
- Diagonals of a rhombus intersect at right angles, making them perpendicular to each other.
- Diagonals bisect the angles of the rhombus, indicating that they split the angles into two equal parts.
