Study Notes

Types of Quadrilaterals

  • Trapezoid: A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
  • Parallelogram: A quadrilateral where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.

Specific Quadrilateral Categories

  • Rhombus: A type of parallelogram characterized by four congruent sides.
  • Rectangle: A parallelogram with four right angles and opposite sides that are congruent.
  • Square: A unique form of parallelogram featuring both four congruent sides and four right angles.
  • Kite: A quadrilateral with adjacent sides that are congruent and one pair of opposite congruent angles; it has no parallel sides.

General Definitions

  • Quadrilateral: A polygon with four sides.
  • Interior Angles of Quadrilaterals: The sum of all interior angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees.
  • Parallel Lines: Two lines that maintain the same distance apart at every point, never intersecting.

Identifying Features

  • Rhombus Features: Four congruent sides, no right angles, two pairs of parallel sides.
  • Square Features: Four congruent sides, four right angles, two pairs of parallel sides.
  • Rectangle Features: Four right angles, opposite sides are congruent, two pairs of parallel sides.
  • Kite Features: Adjacent sides are congruent, lacks any parallel sides.

Comparisons of Quadrilaterals

  • Congruent Sides: Rhombus and Square always have four congruent sides.
  • Right Angles: Rectangle and Square are the two quadrilaterals that always possess four right angles.
