Study Notes

Special Quadrilaterals Overview

  • Kite: A quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides that are congruent. This means that while adjacent sides match in length, no opposite sides are congruent.

  • Rhombus: A type of parallelogram where all four sides are of equal length.

  • Trapezoid: Defined as a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides, distinguishing it from other quadrilaterals.

  • Square: A specific type of rectangle characterized by having four equal sides and four right angles, making it both a rectangle and a rhombus.

  • Parallelogram: A quadrilateral with opposite sides that are both parallel and congruent, which includes shapes like rectangles and rhombuses.

  • Quadrilateral: A basic polygon structure consisting of four sides. All special cases like squares and rhombuses fall under this category.

  • Rectangle: A parallelogram specifically defined by having four right angles, making it distinct from other parallelogram forms.

  • Isosceles Trapezoid: A variant of the trapezoid where the nonparallel sides (legs) are congruent in length.

Polygon Definition

  • Polygon: A closed plane figure formed by three or more line segments. Quadrilaterals are a specific type of polygon limited to four sides.
