Study Notes
Diagonal in a Quadrilateral
- A diagonal in a quadrilateral is a line segment that connects two non-adjacent vertices.
- Each quadrilateral has two diagonals.
Quadrilateral with Distinct Pairs of Congruent and Adjacent Sides
- A kite is a type of quadrilateral characterized by having two distinct pairs of congruent and adjacent sides.
- Kites have symmetry and specific properties related to their angles and diagonals.
Definition of a Parallelogram
- A parallelogram is defined as a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.
- Opposite sides and angles of a parallelogram are congruent, and the diagonals bisect each other.
Legs of an Isosceles Trapezoid
- In an isosceles trapezoid, the legs (the non-parallel sides) are congruent in length.
- This equality of the legs leads to properties such as equal base angles.
Distinguishing Feature of a Rhombus
- A rhombus is a type of parallelogram with all four sides of equal length.
- The diagonals of a rhombus intersect at right angles and bisect each other.
