1 Rhombuses Or Rhombi What makes a quadrilateral a rhombus?

2 Rhombuses Or Rhombi rhombus A rhombus is an equilateral parallelogram. –All sides are congruent

3 Rhombus Corollary A quadrilateral is a rhombus if and only if it has four congruent sides.

4 Rectangles What makes a quadrilateral a rectangle?

5 Rectangles rectangle A rectangle is an equiangular parallelogram. All angles are congruent

6 Example 1 What must each angle of a rectangle measure?

7 Rectangle Corollary A quadrilateral is a rectangle if and only if it has four right angles.

8 Squares What makes a quadrilateral a square?

9 Squares square A square is a regular parallelogram. All angles are congruent All sides are congruent

10 Square Corollary A quadrilateral is a square if and only if it is a rhombus and a rectangle.

11 Properties of Rhombuses, Rectangles, and Squares Objectives: 1.To discover and use properties of rhombuses, rectangles, and squares 2.To find the area of rhombuses, rectangles, and squares

12 Example 2 Venn Diagram Below is a concept map showing the relationships between some members of the parallelogram family. This type of concept map is known as a Venn Diagram. Fill in the missing names.

13 Example 2 Venn Diagram Below is a concept map showing the relationships between some members of the parallelogram family. This type of concept map is known as a Venn Diagram.

14 Example 3 For any rhombus QRST, decide whether the statement is always or sometimes true. Draw a sketch and explain your reasoning. 1.  Q   S 2.  Q   R

15 Example 4 For any rectangle ABCD, decide whether the statement is always or sometimes true. Draw a sketch and explain your reasoning. 1. AB  CD 2. AB  BC

16 Example 5 Classify the special quadrilateral. Explain your reasoning.

17 Diagonal Theorem 1 A parallelogram is a rectangle if and only if its diagonals are congruent.

18 Example 6 The previous theorem is a biconditional. Write the two conditional statements that must be proved separately to prove the entire theorem.

19 Example 7 You’ve just had a new door installed, but it doesn’t seem to fit into the door jamb properly. What could you do to determine if your new door is rectangular?

20 Diagonal Theorem 2 A parallelogram is a rhombus if and only if its diagonals are perpendicular.

21 Diagonal Theorem 3 A parallelogram is a rhombus if and only if each diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles.

22 Example 8 Prove that if a parallelogram has perpendicular diagonals, then it is a rhombus. Given: ABCD is a parallelogram; AC  BD Prove: ABCD is a rhombus

23 Use Properties of Trapezoids and Kites Objectives: 1.To discover and use properties of trapezoids and kites 2.To find the area of trapezoids and kites

24 Trapezoids What makes a quadrilateral a trapezoid?

25 Trapezoids trapezoid A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel opposite sides.

26 Trapezoid Parts basesThe parallel sides are called bases legsThe non-parallel sides are called legs A trapezoid has two pairs of base angles

27 Example 1 Find the value of x.

28 Trapezoid Theorem 1 If a quadrilateral is a trapezoid, then the consecutive angles between the bases are supplementary. If ABCD is a trapezoid, then x + y = 180° and r + t = 180°.

29 Midsegment midsegment A midsegment of a trapezoid is a segment that connects the midpoints of the legs of a trapezoids.

30 Isosceles Trapezoid isosceles trapezoid An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid with congruent legs.

31 Trapezoid Theorem 2 If a trapezoid is isosceles, then each pair of base angles is congruent.

32 Trapezoid Theorem 3 A trapezoid is isosceles if and only if its diagonals are congruent. T i

33 Trapezoid Theorem 4 The midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel to each base and its length is one half the sum of the lengths of the bases. If

34 Example 2 Find the measure of each missing angle.

35 Example 3 For a project, you must cut an 11” by 14” rectangular piece of poster board. Knowing how poorly you usually wield a pair of scissors, you decide to do some measuring to make sure your board is truly rectangular. Thus, you measure the diagonals and determine that they are in fact congruent. Is your board rectangular?

36 Example 4 Find the value of x.

37 Kites What makes a quadrilateral a kite?

38 Kites kite A kite is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of consecutive congruent sides, but opposite sides are not congruent.

39 Angles of a Kite You can construct a kite by joining two different isosceles triangles with a common base and then by removing that common base. Two isosceles triangles can form one kite.

40 Angles of a Kite vertex angles nonvertex angles Just as in an isosceles triangle, the angles between each pair of congruent sides are vertex angles. The other pair of angles are nonvertex angles.

41 Kite Theorem 1 If a quadrilateral is a kite, then the nonvertex angles are congruent.

42 Kite Theorem 2 If a quadrilateral is a kite, then the diagonal connecting the vertex angles is the perpendicular bisector of the other diagonal. and CE  AE.

43 Kite Theorem 3 If a quadrilateral is a kite, then a diagonal bisects the opposite non-congruent vertex angles. If ABCD is a kite, then BD bisects  B and  D.

44 Example 5 Quadrilateral DEFG is a kite. Find m  D.

45 Example 6 Find the measures of each side of kite PQRS. Write your answers in simplest radical form.
