Study Notes
Quadrilaterals: Key Concepts
- A quadrilateral is a closed plane figure with four sides and four angles.
- A quadrilateral is convex if its diagonals intersect. Otherwise, it's non-convex.
- Parallel lines are lines that never intersect.
- Intersecting lines are lines that cross at a point.
- Parallelograms have opposite sides that are both parallel and congruent (equal in length).
- Opposite angles are congruent in a parallelogram
- Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).
- Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other (split each other in half).
- A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if any one of the conditions above is met.
Types of Parallelograms
- Parallelogram: A quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel.
- Rectangle: A parallelogram with four right angles.
- Rhombus: A parallelogram with four congruent sides.
- Square: A parallelogram with four congruent sides and four right angles.
- Trapezoid: A quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides.
- Isosceles Trapezoids: Trapezoids with non-parallel sides that are equal in length.
- Trapezium: A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
Properties
- Diagonals of a rectangle: Are congruent (equal in length).
- Diagonals of a rhombus: are perpendicular and bisect each other.
- Diagonals of a square: are congruent, perpendicular, and bisect each other.
- Diagonals of a parallelogram: Bisect each other.
Theorems
- If a parallelogram has one right angle, it's a rectangle.
- If a parallelogram has four congruent sides, it's a rhombus.
- If a parallelogram has four congruent sides and four right angles, it's a square.
Example Problems
- Given a parallelogram: Finding angle measures, side lengths, or further classifying a figure.
- Diagonals intersecting: Determining lengths of segments in a parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus or square.
- Classifying figures: Identifying the specific type of quadrilateral given certain properties.
Important Vocabulary
- Congruent: Having the same size and shape.
- Supplementary angles: Two angles that add up to 180 degrees.
- Midpoint: The point that divides a segment into two equal parts.
- Perpendicular: Two lines that intersect at a 90-degree angle.
- Properties: Characteristics of a figure.
