Study Notes

  • Rectangles, rhombuses, and squares are geometric shapes.
  • Gabrielle J. Soriano, LPT created this presentation.
  • The goal is to learn about geometric shapes as special parallelograms.
  • Theorems on the kinds of parallelograms will be identified. Solve problems involving the different kinds of parallelograms.

Special Parallelograms

  • Rectangles, rhombuses and squares are special parallelograms.
  • Properties of a parallelogram hold true for each geometric shape.

Definitions

  • A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles.
  • A rhombus is a parallelogram with four congruent sides.
  • A square is a parallelogram with four right angles and four congruent sides.

Theorem 5.2a: Diagonals of a Rectangle

  • If a parallelogram is a rectangle, then its diagonals are congruent.

Theorem 5.2b: Diagonals of a Rhombus

  • If a parallelogram is a rhombus, then its diagonals are perpendicular.

Theorem 5.2c

  • If a parallelogram is a rhombus, then each diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles.

Theorem 5.2d

  • If the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent, then the parallelogram is a rectangle.

Theorem 5.2e

  • If the diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular, then the parallelogram is a rhombus.

Theorem 5.2f

  • If the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect both pairs of opposite angles, then the parallelogram is a rhombus.
