Study Notes

Rectangle Theorems

  • Rectangles have congruent diagonals. This means their diagonals are equal in length.
  • This is helpful to calculate diagonal lengths and confirm rectangle characteristics.

Rhombus Theorems

  • Rhombus diagonals intersect at right angles (90°).
  • Rhombus diagonals bisect each other.
  • Each diagonal of a rhombus bisects two opposite angles.
  • Useful for calculating angles, lengths & confirming rhombus properties.

Isosceles Trapezoid Theorems

  • Isosceles trapezoids have congruent base angles.
  • If a trapezoid's base angles are congruent, it's an isosceles trapezoid.
  • Isosceles trapezoids have congruent diagonals.
  • If a trapezoid's diagonals are congruent, it's an isosceles trapezoid.
  • This helps determine angle and diagonal relationships.

Triangle Theorems

  • A triangle's midsegment is parallel to the base and half its length.
  • This is useful in calculating lengths and confirming triangle relationships.

Trapezoid Theorems

  • The median of a trapezoid is parallel to its bases and equals half their sum.
  • This aids in calculating median lengths.

Kite Theorems

  • Kites have perpendicular diagonals.
  • Kites have exactly one pair of congruent opposite angles.
  • This helps verify kite properties and examine relationships.
