How do you know when a shape is a rhombus? Are you a rhombus? Are you a rhombus? Are you a rhombus?
In this lesson you will learn to identify specific kinds of quadrilateralsby looking at their attributes.
A quadrilateral is a polygon with 4 sides and 4 angles. Quadrilateral NOT a Quadrilateral
There are two main kinds of quadrilaterals 2 Sets of Parallel Sides 1 or less sets of parallel sides rectangle parallelogram trapezoid rhombus non-specific quadrilateral square
Quadrilaterals with 2 sets of parallel sides: rectangle • 2 sets of parallel sides • 2 pairs of congruent sides • 4 right angles • 2 sets of parallel sides • 2 pairs of congruent sides parallelogram • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 congruent sides • 4 right angles rhombus • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 congruent sides square
Quadrilaterals with 1 or less sets of parallel sides: • 1 set of parallel sides isosceles trapezoid trapezoid • 4 sides • 1 set of parallel sides • 1 pair of congruent sides non-specific quadrilateral
Trying to name all unknown quadrilaterals as parallelograms or trapezoids. non-specific quadrilateral
Which of these shapes is a rhombus? X • A rhombus has: • 2 sets of parallel sides • 4 congruent sides X 3 units 3 units 3 units 3 units
In this lesson you have learned to identify specific kinds of quadrilateralsby looking at their attributes.
Anthony made a frame in art class. The frame has four sides that are two different lengths, and the opposite sides are parallel. The frame has four right angles. Which shape is the frame?
Pick two quadrilaterals. Describe the similarities and differences between the two shapes. • Example: • Describe the similarities and differences between a trapezoid and a parallelogram.
Pick a quadrilateral. Draw as many different shapes as you can that could be classified as that quadrilateral. • Example: • Draw as many different parallelograms as you can think of.
Describe how you know when a shape is a rectangle. Tara was standing in front of her house when she noticed the shape of the attic window. The window had exactly one set of parallel sides. Which polygon is the window shaped like?
