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.
