Study Notes

Quadrilaterals Overview

  • A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon with various classifications based on side lengths and angle measures.

Parallelograms

  • A parallelogram has both pairs of opposite sides parallel.
  • A rhombus is a special type of parallelogram with four congruent sides.
  • A rectangle is a parallelogram characterized by having four right angles.
  • A square is a parallelogram that possesses both four congruent sides and four right angles.

Other Quadrilaterals

  • A kite has two pairs of adjacent sides that are congruent, but no opposite sides are congruent.
  • A trapezoid features exactly one pair of parallel sides.
  • An isosceles trapezoid is a type of trapezoid where the nonparallel opposite sides are congruent.

Specific Terminology

  • Consecutive angles are angles of a polygon that share a common side.
  • The midsegment of a trapezoid connects the midpoints of the two parallel sides.
  • Base angles are the two angles that share a base in a trapezoid.

Summary of Key Definitions

  • Parallelogram: Quad with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.
  • Rhombus: Parallelogram with four congruent sides.
  • Rectangle: Parallelogram with four right angles.
  • Square: Parallelogram with congruent sides and right angles.
  • Kite: Quad with two pairs of adjacent congruent sides.
  • Trapezoid: Quad with one pair of parallel sides.
  • Isosceles trapezoid: Trapezoid with congruent nonparallel sides.
