Lesson 5.10Page 317 Properties of Rhombuses, Rectangles, and Squares
What is a rhombus? • A rhombus is a parallelogram with four congruent sides. • Is a square a rhombus? YES • When is a rhombus not a square? When the angles are not all 90⁰.
What is a rectangle? • A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles. • Is a square a rectangle? YES • When is a rectangle not a square? When all sides are not congruent.
What if you combined the two? Rhombus Rectangle Equilateral Equiangular Square Regular
Vocabulary: A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles. Another characteristic of a rectangle is it has congruent diagonals.
A rhombus is a parallelogram with four congruent sides. Other characteristics of a rhombus are: • Perpendicular diagonals • Diagonals bisect opposite angles
A square is a parallelogram that has all of the same characteristics of a rectangle and a rhombus. These characteristics are: • 4 right angles • 4 congruent sides • congruent diagonals • perpendicular diagonals • diagonals that bisect opposite angles
Example: • For a rhombus ABCD, decide whether the statement is always, sometimes, or never true. AB > BC • A rhombus is a parallelogram with four congruent sides. B A So AB = BC and the statement is never true First make a drawing and label it. D C
