Quadrilaterals

This document defines and compares different types of quadrilaterals. It discusses the key properties of squares, rectangles, trapezoids, kites, rhombuses, and parallelograms. For each shape, it identifies properties like equal or congruent sides and angles, perpendicular or parallel sides, and relationships between diagonals and angles. The document also presents theorems about properties of parallelograms, such as opposite angles being congruent and consecutive angles being supplementary.

Quadrilaterals

Two dimensional figure with four sides and four angles

quad - 4

lateral - sides

Properties:

Should be a closed shape with four sides

All angles must sum up to 360 degrees

Types of Quadrilaterals

Square

Quadrilateral with four congruent sides and angles

Every square is a parallelogram as well as a rhombus and rectangle

It has all the properties of all these quadrilaterals

🤍 - opposite sides are parallel, congruent


- opposite angles ang congruent
- consecutive angles ang supplementary
- diagonals bisect each other

🤍 - four right angles, congruent sides


- diagonals are congruent, perpendicular, bisect opposite angles

Quadrilaterals 1
Rectangle

Quadrilateral with four right angles

A rectangle is a parallelogram since opposite angles ang congruent

Has all properties of a parallelogram

🤍 - opposite sides and parallel, congruent


- opposite angles are congruent
- consecutive angles are supplementary
- diagonals bisect each other

Theorem: If a parallelogram is a rectangle, then its diagonals ang congruent

Converse: If the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent then the


parallelogram is a rectangle

Quadrilaterals 2
💡 Is a square a rectangle? YES
Is a rectangle a square? NO

- A rectangle is a quadrilateral with 4 right angles, its opposite sides are


equal ang parallel
- A square is a quadrilateral with 4 right angles, and 4 equal sides

💡 A square can be a rectangle because it has 4 equal sides and 4 equal


angles
A rectangle is not a square because it does not have equal sides

Trapezoid

Quadrilateral that has exactly 1 pair of parallel sides

Kite

Quadrilaterals 3
Quadrilateral that has two pairs of consecutive congruent sides but the opposite
sides are not congruent

Rhombus

Quadrilateral with four congruent sides

A rhombus is a parallelogram since opposite sides are congruent

🤍 - opposite sides and parallel, congruent


- opposite angles are congruent
- consecutive angles are supplementary
- diagonals bisect each other

Note: the four small triangles are right and congruent [by SSS]

This means the diagonals form four angles that are congruent, and must be 90
degrees each [diagonals are perpendicular]

Diagonals bisect each of the four angles of the rhombus [diagonals bisect opposite
angles]

Properties:

Quadrilaterals 4
Theorem: Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular

Theorem: Each diagonal of a rhombus bisect a pair of opposite angles

🤍 - opposite sides and parallel, congruent


- opposite angles are congruent
- consecutive angles are supplementary
- diagonals bisect each other

🤍 - all four sides ang congruent


- diagonals ang perpendicular, bisect opposite angles
- also remember: the small triangles ang right ang congruent!

Parallelogram

Quadrilateral that has opposite sides that are equal and parallel

Properties of a parallelogram

Opposite Angles

One pair of opposite angle is A and C. The other pair is B and D

Theorem: Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent

Quadrilaterals 5
Consecutive Angles

Each angle is consecutive to two other angles. A is consecutive with B and


D

Consecutive Angles in Parallelograms

Theorem: Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary

m∠A + m∠B = 180

m∠A + m∠C = 180

[m∠C = 46][m∠B = 134]

Consecutive interior angles are supplementary

Diagonals

Segments that join non-consecutive vertices

In this diagram the only two diagonals are AC and BD

Quadrilaterals 6
Diagonal property

Diagonals meet at the midpoint of each diagonal

They bisect each other, but the diagonals are NOT congruent

Theorem: The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other

Theorem: The diagonals of a parallelogram form two congruent triangles

Proving Quadrilaterals in Parallelogram

Definition: A quadrilateral is parallelogram if opposite sides are parallel

Property: If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then the opposite sides are


parallel

Test: If opposite sides of a quadrilateral are parallel, than it is a parallelogram
