6-4 Properties of Rhombuses, Rectangles, and Squares
Rectangles Definition: A quadrilateral with four right angles. (this is all we know) What condition does this satisfy to be classified a parallelogram?
Properties of a Rectangle -Opposite sides are congruent -Opposite sides are parallel -Opposite angles are congruent -Diagonals bisect each other -Consecutive angles supplementary -Interior angles sum to 360 Why are these 6 properties true for a rectangle? -The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent. Theorem
Label everything we know about this figure.
Rhombus Definition: A quadrilateral with four congruent sides. (all we know) What allows us to classify this as a parallelogram?
Properties of a Rhombus -Opposite sides are congruent -Opposite sides are parallel -Opposite angles are congruent -Diagonals bisect each other -Consecutive angles supplementary -Interior angles sum to 360 Why are these 6 properties true for a rhombus? The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular. Each diagonal of a rhombus bisects 2 angles of the rhombus Theorem Theorem
Label everything we know about this figure.
Square Definition: A quadrilateral with four right angles and four congruent sides.
Properties of a square -Opposite sides are congruent -Opposite sides are parallel -Opposite angles are congruent -Diagonals bisect each other -Consecutive angles supplementary -Interior angles sum to 360 Is a square a rectangle? Why or why not? Is a square a rhombus? Why or why not? Do we then know that a square also shares the properties of those 2 figures?
Label everything that we know about this square
(If I were to place the first figure in front of you, would it also be the second figure) Is a rectangle a square? Is a rhombus a square?
Theorem If an angle of a parallelogram is a right angle, then the parallelogram is a rectangle. (what would we need to know for it to be a square) If 2 consecutive sides of a parallelogram are congruent, then the parallelogram is a rhombus. Theorem
