A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides is a parallelogram. To write the name of a parallelogram, you use the symbol .
In CDEF, DE = 74 mm, DG = 31 mm, and mFCD = 42°. Find CF. Find mEFC. Find DF. Example 1A: Properties of Parallelograms
Example 2A: Using Properties of Parallelograms to Find Measures WXYZ is a parallelogram. Find YZ. Find mZ
Example 2a EFGH is a parallelogram. Find JG. Find FH.
A second type of special quadrilateral is a rectangle. A rectangleis a quadrilateral with four right angles.
Since a rectangle is a parallelogram by, a rectangle “inherits” all the properties of parallelograms.
Example 1: Craft Application A woodworker constructs a rectangular picture frame so that JK = 50 cm and JL = 86 cm. Find HM.
A rhombus is another special quadrilateral. A rhombusis a quadrilateral with four congruent sides. Like a rectangle, a rhombus is a parallelogram. So you can apply the properties of parallelograms to rhombuses.
Example 2A: Using Properties of Rhombuses to Find Measures TVWX is a rhombus. Find TV. Find mVTZ.
A square is a quadrilateral with four right angles and four congruent sides. In the exercises, you will show that a square is a parallelogram, a rectangle, and a rhombus. So a square has the properties of all three.
