To prove a quad is a parallelogram
1) both pairs of opp sides ll
2) both pairs off opp sides =
3) 1 pair of opp sides both ll and =
4) diagonals bisect eachother
5) both pairs of opp
To prove a quad is a rect
First prove its a parallelogram then prove
1) 1 angle is rt
Or
2) prove diagonals =
Prove its a quad with 4 rt angles
To prove a quad is a rhombus
Prove its a parallelogram then
1) prove consec sides =
Or
2) prove either diagonal bisects 2 angles
Prove its a quad where both diagonals perp bi of eachother
To prove a quad is a square
1) prove its both a rect and rhombus
To prove a quad is a kite
1) prove two disjoint pairs of consecutive sides =
Or
2) prove 1 diagonal perp bisector of the other
Or
3) prove 1 diagonal bisects a pair of opp angles
If you think a quad is an isos trap
1) prove its a trap by showing 1 pair off ll sides then A) legs = Or B) prove upper or lower bases= Or C) diagonals =
