    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.
