    Study Notes

    Parallelogram Classification

    • Parallelograms are quadrilaterals with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.
    • A rhombus is a specific type of parallelogram characterized by having four congruent sides.
    • Rectangles are parallelograms that have two pairs of congruent sides as well as four right angles.
    • Squares are a special case of parallelograms that possess four congruent sides and four right angles, combining properties of both rhombuses and rectangles.

    Other Quadrilateral Types

    • A kite is defined as a quadrilateral featuring two pairs of adjacent sides that are congruent, while opposite sides are not congruent.
    • A trapezoid has exactly one pair of opposite sides that are congruent, distinguishing it from parallelograms.
    • An isosceles trapezoid is a type of trapezoid in which the nonparallel opposite sides are congruent.
