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.
