Study Notes
Quadrilaterals Overview
- A quadrilateral is a four-sided figure.
Types of Quadrilaterals
- Six types of quadrilaterals: square, rhombus, rectangle, kite, trapezoid, and parallelogram.
Sides and Angles
- Sides are line segments joining two vertices.
- Angles can be congruent (90 degrees), consecutive-supplementary, or opposite-congruent.
Parallelogram
- Defined as a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.
Rhombus
- A type of parallelogram with four congruent sides and opposite equal angles.
Kite
- A quadrilateral with two pairs of consecutive sides congruent, lacking congruent opposite sides.
Trapezoid
- A quadrilateral featuring one pair of parallel sides.
Square
- A quadrilateral characterized by four right angles and four congruent sides; can be seen as a rectangle with equal adjacent sides.
Rectangle
- A parallelogram with four right angles, typically having unequal adjacent sides compared to a square.
Proof Techniques
- Proofs involve logical arguments with statements supported by accepted truths.
Proof for Parallelogram
- If opposite sides or angles are congruent, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Proof for Rhombus
- Demonstrate equal side lengths and that diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other; also that diagonals bisect opposite angles.
Proof for Rectangle
- Confirm all angles are 90 degrees, show one pair of sides is parallel, and prove that diagonals bisect each other and are equal.
Proof for Trapezoid
- Involves showing the presence of two parallel sides and congruence of base angles.
Proof for Kite
- Established if two disjoint pairs of consecutive sides are congruent; also, if one diagonal bisects the other perpendicularly.
Proof for Quadrilateral
- Involves creating two pairs of congruent triangles within the quadrilateral.
Proof for Square
- To confirm a quadrilateral is a square, it must have four congruent sides and angles, or two consecutive sides of a rectangle must be equal.
Proof for Isosceles Trapezoid
- Requires proving the presence of two parallel sides with congruent lower and upper bases.
