Identifying Quadrilaterals Flashcards
The defining feature of a trapezoid is that:
At least one pair of opposite sides are parallel
A quadrilateral is also a trapezoid if it is a:
Parallelogram, Rhombus, or Rectangle
The defining feature of a parallelogram is that:
Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel
A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if:
Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent
Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent
One pair of opposite sides is parallel AND congruent
Diagonals bisect each other
A quadrilateral is also a parallelogram if it is a:
Rhombus or Rectangle
The defining feature of a rhombus is that:
All four sides are equal
A quadrilateral is a rhombus if:
It is a parallelogram AND diagonals are perpendicular
Diagonals bisect the vertex angles
The defining feature of a rectangle is that:
All four angles are right/congruent
A quadrilateral is a rectangle if it:
Is a parallelogram AND diagonals are congruent
The defining feature of a square is that:
All four sides are congruent AND all four angles are right/congruent
A quadrilateral is also a square if it is a:
Rhombus AND a Rectangle
The defining feature of an isosceles trapezoid is that:
The two legs are equal
A quadrilateral is an isosceles trapezoid if it:
Has two pairs of equal base angles
Has equal diagonals
