Questions:
1. Which quadrilateral is a rectangle? Why? Verify the following theorems by using the
idea of slope. (Hint: Parallel lines have equal slopes while perpendicular lines have slopes
whose product is -1.)
• Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
• Four pairs of consecutives sides are perpendicular
• Diagonals are not necessarily perpendicular to each other.
2. Which quadrilateral is a trapezoid? Why? Verify the following theorems by using the
idea of slope.
• One pair of opposite sides are parallel.
• One pair of opposite sides are not parallel.
3. Which quadrilateral is a kite? Why? Verify the following theorems by using the idea of
slope.
• Both pairs of opposite sides are not parallel.
• Diagonals are perpendicular.
4. Which quadrilateral is a rhombus? Why? Verify the following theorems by using the idea
of slope.
• Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
• Four pairs of consecutive sides are not necessarily perpendicular.
• Diagonals are perpendicular.
