Study Notes
Quadrilaterals
- Quadrilaterals are four-sided polygons with unique properties.
- There are two types of quadrilaterals: parallelograms and kites/trapezoids.
Parallelograms
- Characteristics
- Opposite sides are equal in length.
- Opposite angles are equal in measure.
- Consecutive angles are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).
- Diagonals bisect each other.
- Examples
- Rectangle: A parallelogram with four right angles
- Square: A rectangle with all sides equal.
- Rhombus: A parallelogram with all sides equal.
Kites
- Characteristics
- Two pairs of adjacent sides are congruent (equal in length).
- Diagonals are perpendicular to each other.
- The longer diagonal bisects the shorter diagonal.
Trapezoids
- Characteristics
- Trapezoids have exactly one pair of parallel sides, called bases.
- The non-parallel sides are called legs.
- The angles on the same side of a leg are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).
- The diagonals of a trapezoid intersect each other.
Types Of Trapezoids
- Isosceles Trapezoid: A trapezoid with congruent legs.
- Right Trapezoid: A trapezoid with two adjacent right angles.
- Scalene Trapezoid: A trapezoid with all four sides of different lengths.
