6.4 Rhombuses, Rectangles, and Squares Day 4

Review  Find the value of the variables. 52° 68° h p (2p-14)° 50° 52° + 68° + h = 180° 120° + h = 180 ° h = 60° p + 50° + (2p – 14)° = 180° p + 2p + 50° - 14° = 180° 3p + 36° = 180° 3p = 144 ° p = 48 °

Corollaries RRhombus corollary AA quadrilateral is a rhombus if and only if it has four congruent sides. RRectangle corollary AA quadrilateral is a rectangle if and only if it has four right angles. SSquare corollary AA quadrilateral is a square if and only if it is a rhombus and a rectangle.

Example  PQRS is a rhombus. What is the value of b? P Q R S 2b + 3 5b – 6 2b + 3 = 5b – 6 9 = 3b 3 = b

Review  In rectangle ABCD, if AB = 7f – 3 and CD = 4f + 9, then f = ___ A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 4 E) 5 7f – 3 = 4f + 9 3f – 3 = 9 3f = 12 f = 4

Example  PQRS is a rhombus. What is the value of b? P Q R S 3b b – 6 3b + 12 = 5b – 6 18 = 2b 9 = b
