5.5 Properties of Quadrilaterals Objectives: • Know properties of special quadrilaterals. • Use properties of special quadrilaterals in proofs
Parallelograms:a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. Opposite sides are congruent. Opposite angles are congruent. Consecutive angles are supplementary. Diagonals bisect each other.
Rhombus:a quadrilateral with all sides congruent. All sides congruent. Diagonals are . Diagonals bisect angles. Diagonals create 4 congruent triangles.
Rectangle:a quadrilateral with all right angles All angles are right angles. Diagonals are congruent.
Square:a quadrilateral that is both a rectangle and a rhombus Diagonals form 4 congruent isosceles right triangles.
Kite:a quadrilateral in which 2 pairs of consecutive sides are congruent, but opposite sides are not congruent Exactly 1 pair of opposite angles congruent. Diagonals are Diagonal bisects non-angles. Diagonal bisects other diagonal.
Trapezoid:a quadrilateral with exactly 1 pair of parallel sides
isosceles trapezoid:a trapezoid with the non-parallel sides congruent (legs) Pairs of base angles are congruent. Diagonals are congruent. Upper base angles and lower base angles are supplementary.
