*Quadrilateral I have exactly four sides and angles. If you add all of my angles together, then you would have 360 0
*Trapezoid I have only one set of parallel sides.
*Parallelogram I have: - 2 sets of parallel sides - 2 sets of congruent sides - opposite angles congruent - consecutive angles supplementary
*Rectangle I have all of the properties of the parallelogram PLUS - 4 right angles
*Rhombus I have all of the properties of the parallelogram PLUS - 4 congruent sides
*Square Hey, look at me! I have all of the properties of the parallelogram AND the rectangle AND the rhombus. I have it all!
Examples
3. If one angle of a parallelogram is 60 degrees, find the number of degrees in the remaining 3 angles. 12 3
3. If one angle of a parallelogram is 60 degrees, find the number of degrees in the remaining 3 angles. Since consecutive angles are supplementary, angle 1 and 60 0 must add up to Angle 2 is opposite of 60 0, therefore angle to is equal to Angle 3 is opposite of angle 1, therefore angle 1 and angle 3 are congruent. 12 3
