6.4 Rectangles
Characteristics of a rectangle: Both sets of opp. Sides are congruent and parallel Both sets opp. angles are congruent Diagonals bisect each other Diagonals split it into 2 congruent triangles Consecutive angles are supplementary If one angle is a right angle then all 4 are right angles In a rectangle the diagonals are congruent. If diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent, then it is a rectangle.
Quadrilateral EFGH is a rectangle. If GH = 6 feet and FH = 15 feet, find GJ.
Quadrilateral RSTU is a rectangle. If m RTU = 8x + 4 and m SUR = 3x – 2, find x.
Quadrilateral EFGH is a rectangle. If m FGE = 6x – 5 and m HFE = 4x – 5, find x.
Quadrilateral JKLM has vertices J(–2, 3), K(1, 4), L(3, –2), and M(0, –3). Determine whether JKLM is a rectangle using the Distance Formula.
