P ROPERTIES OF Q UADRILATERALS

Q UADRILATERALS Two-dimensional, closed shape Four straight sides and four angles Sum of angles: 360 ⁰ Diagonals AC, BD Line segment from one vertex to the opposite vertex Seven types of quadrilaterals

P ARALLELOGRAM Opposite sides are parallel & equal Opposite angles are equal

T YPES OF P ARALLELOGRAMS Parallelogram All angles are 90 ⁰ Parallelogram All angles are 90 ⁰ All sides are equal in length Rectangle SquareRhombus Parallelogram Opposite angles are equal, do not have to be 90 ⁰ All sides are equal in length

T RAPEZOID One pair of opposite sides are parallel A “regular” trapezoid: non-parallel sides ARE equal base angles are equal Regular trapezoid

O THER Q UADRILATERALS Irregular quadrilaterals No specifications Kite Two pairs of adjacent sides are equal in length One pair of opposite angles (the ones that are between the sides of unequal length) are equal in size. One diagonal bisects the other. Diagonals intersect at right angles.

CLICKER QUESTION #1 What is the measure of the missing angle? A. 115 ⁰ B. 45 ⁰ C. 65 ⁰ D. 125 ⁰ 115 ⁰ 65 ⁰ X 115 ⁰

CLICKER QUESTION #2 Which of the following is not true? A. The diagonals of a rhombus are congruent. B. The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent. C. The four sides of a rhombus are congruent. D. The rectangle has 4 right angles. E. A rhombus is a parallelogram.

A REA OF Q UADRILATERALS Area is measured in square units Number of squares required to cover the surface Be consistent with units Example: If a rectangle is 6 inches wide and 4 feet long, what is the area? Solution: Must convert units to make both measurements consistent. 6 inches = ½ feet ½ ft x 4 ft = 2 ft ² Area = 2 ft ²

A REA OF Q UADRILATERALS Type of QuadrilateralArea Formula ParallelogramA = bh RectangleA = bh Square A = s ² RhombusA = bh TrapezoidA = (1/2)h(b1 + b2) KiteA = (1/2)(d1*d2) IrregularBreak into parts & add Key: b – base h – height s – side b1/b2 – base1/base2 d1/d2 – diagonal1/diagonal2

E XAMPLE - F IND AREA OF QUADRILATERAL A = (1/2)h(b1 + b2) = (1/2)(4)(9 + 6) = (1/2)(60) = 30 cm ² 9cm 6cm 4cm
