Geometry Notes Lesson 4.1B Special Quadrilaterals

Parallelogram Parallelogram – a quadrilateral with two pairs of opposite sides parallel

Properties of parallelograms Opposite sides are congruent Opposite angles are congruent Diagonals bisect each other

Rectangle Rectangle – a parallelogram with four right angles

Special properties of rectangles Diagonals are congruent

Rhombus Rhombus – a parallelogram with four congruent sides

Special properties of rhombuses Diagonals are perpendicular Each diagonal bisects opposite angles

Square Square – a parallelogram with four right angles and four congruent sides

Special properties of squares Diagonals are congruent Diagonals are perpendicular Each diagonal bisects opposite angles

Kite Kite – A quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides congruent and no opposite sides congruent

Special properties of kites. Diagonals bisect 2 of the angles Diagonals are perpendicular One diagonal is bisected

Trapezoid Trapezoid – A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides

Special properties of trapezoids Same-Side Interior Angles = 180

Isosceles Trapezoid Isosceles Trapezoid – a trapezoid whose nonparallel sides are congruent

Special properties of isosceles trapezoids. Nonparallel sides are congruent Base Angles are congruent Diagonals are congruent

The following is a diagram to show how different quadrilaterals are related.
