Geometry Quadrilaterals Flashcards
polygon2
- closed figure, nonconsecutive sides don’t intersect
- named by their vertices in order around
convex polygon
each interior angle measure
diagonal of a polygon
connects 2 nonconsecutive vertices
quadrilateral
any 4 sided polygon
parallelogram5
- opposite sides are parallel
- opposite sides are congruent
- opposite angles are congruent
- diagonals bisect each other
- all pairs of consecutive angles are supplementary
rectangles3
- all properties of a parallelogram
- all angles are right angles
- diagonals are congruent
kites4
- 2 disjoint pairs of consecutive sides are congruent
- 1 diagonal is the perpendicular bisector of the other
- 1 pair of opposite angles congruent
- one of the diagonals bisects a pair of opposite angles
rhombuses5
- all properties of a parallelogram and kite
- all sides are congruent
- diagonals bisect the angles
- diagonals perpendicular bisect each other
- diagonals form four congruent right triangles
squares2
- all properties of a rectangle and rhombus
- diagonals form 4 isosceles right triangles
isosceles trapezoids6
- legs congruent
- bases parallel
- lower base angles are congruent
- upper base angles are congruent
- diagonals are congruent
- lower base angles are supplementary to upper base angles
proving a parallelogram5
- both pairs of opposite sides are parallel
- both pairs of opposite sides are congruent
- one pair of opposite sides is both parallel and congruent
- diagonals bisect each other
- both pairs of opposite angles are congruent
proving a rectangle3
- contains four right angles
- diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent
- parallelogram has 1 right angle
proving a kite2
- two disjoint pairs of consecutive sides are congruent
- 1 of the diagonals perpendicular bisects the other
proving a rhombus3
- a parallelogram contains a pair of congruent consecutive sides
- a diagonal bisects two angles of a parallelogram
- the diagonals perpendicular bisect each other
proving a square
-it is both a rectangle and rhombus
proving an isosceles trapezoid3
- nonparallel sides are congruent
- lower or upper base angles are congruent
- diagonals are congruent
