Study Notes
Understanding Quadrilaterals
-
Parallelogram
- A four-sided figure with each pair of opposite sides running parallel.
- Opposite sides are equal in length.
- Opposite angles are congruent.
- The diagonals bisect each other at a common point.
-
Rhombus
- A specific type of parallelogram where all sides are of equal length.
- Retains all properties of a parallelogram.
- Diagonals intersect at right angles (perpendicular).
-
Rectangle
- A parallelogram characterized by having all right angles (90 degrees).
- All properties of a parallelogram are applicable.
- Diagonals are equal in length.
-
Square
- A specialized rectangle with all sides equal, thus combining properties.
- Inherits properties from parallelograms, rectangles, and rhombuses.
- Diagonals are both equal in length and intersect at right angles.
