26. Example 5 Classify the special quadrilateral. Explain your reasoning.

27. Diagonal Theorem 1 A parallelogram is a rectangle if and only if its diagonals are congruent.

28. Example You’ve just had a new door installed, but it doesn’t seem to fit into the door jamb properly. What could you do to determine if your new door is rectangular?

29. Diagonal Theorem 2 A parallelogram is a rhombus if and only if its diagonals are perpendicular.

30. Rhombus Area Since a rhombus is a parallelogram, we could find its area by multiplying the base and the height.

31. Rhombus/Kite Area However, you’re not always given the base and height, so let’s look at the two diagonals. Notice that d1 divides the rhombus into 2 congruent triangles. Ah, there’s a couple of triangles in there.

32. Rhombus/Kite Area So find the area of one triangle, and then double the result. Ah, there’s a couple of triangles in there.

35. Trapezoids What makes a quadrilateral a trapezoid?

36. Trapezoids A trapezoidis a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel opposite sides.

37. Polygon Area Formulas

38. Trapezoid Parts • The parallel sides are called bases • The non-parallel sides are called legs • A trapezoid has two pairs of base angles

46. Kites What makes a quadrilateral a kite?

47. Kites A kiteis a quadrilateral that has two pairs of consecutive congruent sides, but opposite sides are not congruent.

48. Angles of a Kite You can construct a kite by joining two different isosceles triangles with a common base and then by removing that common base. Two isosceles triangles can form one kite.

49. Angles of a Kite Just as in an isosceles triangle, the angles between each pair of congruent sides are vertex angles. The other pair of angles are nonvertex angles.

50. Kite Theorem 1 If a quadrilateral is a kite, then the nonvertex angles are congruent.
