Ch 8.4
A rhombus is a parallelogram that has four congruent sides. That means that the opposite sides must also be parallel. The diagonals of a rhombus form perpendicular lines.
The diagonals bisect the interior angles.
AA rectangle is a parallelogram with 4 right angles. TTherefore, opposite sides must also be parallel. TThe diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.
A square is a parallelogram with 4 right angles AND 4 congruent sides. Because a parallelogram has parallel opposite sides, a square has parallel opposite sides.
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with 1 pair of parallel sides.
Can any square be a rectangle? Yes! Can any rectangle be a square? No! Can any square be a rhombus? Yes! Can any rectangle be a rhombus? No!
