Study Notes
Parallelograms Overview
- Parallelograms are quadrilaterals with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.
Properties of Parallelograms
- Opposite angles are congruent.
- Adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to 180 degrees).
- Opposite sides are congruent.
- Diagonals bisect each other.
Special Types of Parallelograms
- Types include rectangles, rhombuses, and squares.
Rectangle Characteristics
- A rectangle is a parallelogram with at least one right angle.
- Diagonals in a rectangle are congruent.
Rhombus Characteristics
- A rhombus has four congruent sides.
- The diagonals are perpendicular to each other and bisect the angles.
Square Characteristics
- A square has four congruent sides and four right angles.
- Diagonals in a square are congruent and perpendicular.
Quadrilateral Attributes
- All quadrilaterals have four sides.
- A quadrilateral with one pair of parallel and congruent sides is a parallelogram.
Special Conditions for Parallelograms
- A parallelogram with congruent diagonals is a rectangle.
- A parallelogram is a rhombus if its diagonals are perpendicular.
Diagonal Intersection Properties
- In parallelogram ABCD, if diagonals AC and BD intersect, having diagonals that are not congruent indicates it's not a rhombus.
- If diagonals bisect opposite angles, quadrilateral ABCD may be a rhombus.
Isosceles Trapezoid
- A quadrilateral with diagonals that are congruent but do not bisect each other is termed an isosceles trapezoid.
Key Findings
- A rhombus does not necessarily have congruent diagonals.
- If a quadrilateral has diagonals that bisect its angles but aren't congruent, it's classified as a rhombus.
- A square is the only quadrilateral with diagonals that are always perpendicular bisectors of each other.
False Statements
- The claim that all rectangles are squares is false.
