6-4:Properties of Special Parallelograms CP Geometry Mr. Gallo
Types of Special Parallelograms • Rhombus • A parallelogram with 4 congruent sides • Rectangle • Parallelogram with 4 right angles • Square • A parallelogram with 4 congruent sides and 4 congruent angles
Theorem 6-13 then its diagonals If a parallelogram is a rhombus, ________________ __________________. are perpendicular Remember all the properties of parallelograms are also true for the special parallelograms
Theorem 6-14 then each diagonal If a parallelogram is a rhombus, __________________ _____________________________. bisects a pair of opposite angles Then the following angles are congruent:
Properties of Rhombi Name the diagonals: _______ and _______ Q 5 in P R S
Theorem 6-15 then its diagonals If a parallelogram is a rectangle, _________________ ______________. are congruent The diagonals of rectangle ABCD are: ____ & ____ Complete Got It? #3 p. 378 a. 43 b. Isosceles; diagonals of a rectangle are and bisect each other.
