Prove a parallelogram 12
Find the midpoint of both diagonals If they match then… It is a parallelogram because diagonals bisect 12
Prove a Rectangle 13
Use DISTANCE to find the length of all four sides If Both sets of opposite sides are = then… It is a rectangle because both sets of opposite sides are congruent 13
Prove a Rhombus 14
Use DISTANCE to find the length of all four sides If ALL sides are = then… It is a rhombus because all sides are congruent 14
Prove a Square 15
Use DISTANCE to find the length of all four sides and SLOPE of 2 adjacent sides If ALL sides are = and the slopes are opposite reciprocals then… It is a square because all sides are congruent and adjacent sides are perpendicular 15
Prove a Trapezoid 16
Find the SLOPE of all four sides If two slopes are = and two are then… It is a trapezoid because there is only one set of opposite parallel sides. 16
Prove an isosceles trapezoid 17
Find the SLOPE of all four sides and the DISTANCE of the non-parallel sides If two slopes are = and two are and the non-parallel sides are = then… It is an isosceles trapezoid because there is only one set of opposite parallel sides and the legs are congruent. 17
