LT 6.4: Prove and apply properties of rectangles, rhombuses and squares.
Math Humor Q: What did the rhombus say to the square? A: Lean on me, friend!
Rectangle
Properties of Rectangles
Example 1: The braces of the bridge support lie along the diagonals of rectangle PQRS. RS = 160 ft, and QS = 380 ft. Find each length. 1) TQ = 2) PQ = 3) ST = 4) PR =
Rhombus
Properties of Rhombuses
Square
Visual – Venn Diagram
All sides are congruent Properties Parallelogram Rhombus Rectangle Square All sides are congruent 2 pairs of opposite sides are congruent 2 pairs of opposite sides are || 2 pairs of opposite angles are congruent All angles are right s Diagonals bisect each other Diagonals are congruent Diagonals are Each diagonal bisects the angle into 2 congruent angles

Example 3: pg. 412 # 7 ABCD is a rhombus. Find . 12y = 90 y = 7.5 Example 3: pg. 412 # 7 ABCD is a rhombus. Find . 12y = 90 y = 7.5 mABC = 61°
If AX = x + 6, then AC = 2x + 12 2x + 12 = 3x – 4 x = 16 DX = 8
