Shape Classifications in Geometry
-
Rhombus and Square
- All sides are congruent, meaning each side is of equal length.
-
Rhombus and Kite
- Diagonals intersect at right angles, indicating they are perpendicular to each other.
-
Rhombus
- Diagonals bisect the opposite angles, dividing each angle into two equal parts.
-
Square
- All angles are congruent, specifically each angle measures 90 degrees, making it a special case of both a rectangle and rhombus.
-
Rectangle
- Diagonals are congruent, meaning they are of equal length.
-
Trapezoid
- Characterized by having one pair of parallel sides, defining its basic structure.
-
Trapezoid (additional definition)
- Legs are not parallel, distinguishing it from isosceles trapezoids, where legs are equal.
-
Isosceles Trapezoid
- Each pair of base angles are congruent, ensuring symmetry in the shape.
-
Isosceles Trapezoid (additional definition)
- Legs are congruent in length, further emphasizing its symmetrical properties.
-
Rectangle (additional fact)
- All angles are right angles (90 degrees), reinforcing its classification as a type of quadrilateral.
