Introduction There are many kinds of quadrilaterals. Some quadrilaterals are parallelograms; some are not. For example, trapezoids and kites are special quadrilaterals, but they are not parallelograms. Some parallelograms are known as special parallelograms. What makes a parallelogram a more specialized parallelogram? Rectangles, rhombuses, and squares are all special parallelograms with special properties. They have all the same characteristics that parallelograms have, plus more. 1.10.2: Proving Properties of Special Quadrilaterals

Key Concepts A rectangle has four sides and four right angles.
A rectangle is a parallelogram, so opposite sides are parallel, opposite angles are congruent, and consecutive angles are supplementary. The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other and are also congruent. 1.10.2: Proving Properties of Special Quadrilaterals

A rhombus is a special parallelogram with all four sides congruent. Since a rhombus is a parallelogram, opposite sides are parallel, opposite angles are congruent, and consecutive angles are supplementary. The diagonals bisect each other; additionally, they also bisect the opposite pairs of angles within the rhombus. 1.10.2: Proving Properties of Special Quadrilaterals

Theorem If a parallelogram is a rhombus, the diagonals of the rhombus bisect the opposite pairs of angles. 1.10.2: Proving Properties of Special Quadrilaterals

The diagonals of a rhombus also form four right angles where they intersect. 1.10.2: Proving Properties of Special Quadrilaterals

Theorem If a parallelogram is a rhombus, the diagonals are perpendicular. The converse is also true. If the diagonals of a parallelogram intersect at a right angle, then the parallelogram is a rhombus. 1.10.2: Proving Properties of Special Quadrilaterals

A square has all the properties of a rectangle and a rhombus. Squares have four congruent sides and four right angles. The diagonals of a square bisect each other, are congruent, and bisect opposite pairs of angles. The diagonals are also perpendicular. 1.10.2: Proving Properties of Special Quadrilaterals

Trapezoids are quadrilaterals with exactly one pair of opposite parallel lines. Trapezoids are not parallelograms because they do not have two pairs of opposite lines that are parallel. The lines in a trapezoid that are parallel are called the bases, and the lines that are not parallel are called the legs. 1.10.2: Proving Properties of Special Quadrilaterals

Isosceles trapezoids have one pair of opposite parallel lines. The legs are congruent. Since the legs are congruent, both pairs of base angles are also congruent, similar to the legs and base angles in an isosceles triangle. The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent. 1.10.2: Proving Properties of Special Quadrilaterals

A kite is a quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of congruent sides that are adjacent. Kites are not parallelograms because opposite sides are not parallel. The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular. 1.10.2: Proving Properties of Special Quadrilaterals

Quadrilaterals can be grouped according to their properties. This kind of grouping is called a hierarchy. In the hierarchy of quadrilaterals on the following slide, you can see that all quadrilaterals are polygons but that not all polygons are quadrilaterals. The arrows connecting the types of quadrilaterals indicate a special version of the category above each quadrilateral type. For example, parallelograms are special quadrilaterals. Rectangles and rhombuses are special parallelograms, and squares have all the properties of rectangles and rhombuses. 1.10.2: Proving Properties of Special Quadrilaterals

Common Errors/Misconceptions
assuming both pairs of opposite sides are parallel after determining that one pair of opposite sides is parallel mistakenly classifying a rhombus as a square since all the sides are congruent confusing the properties among the special quadrilaterals not understanding that rectangles have the same properties as a parallelogram plus additional properties not understanding the hierarchy of quadrilaterals 1.10.2: Proving Properties of Special Quadrilaterals
