Geometry 6.4 Rectangles
Rectangle – a parallelogram with 4 right angles. • Opposite sides are parallel and congruent. • Opposite angles are congruent. • Consecutive angles are supplementary. • Diagonals bisect each other.
Theorem 6.13: Diagonals of a Rectangle • If a parallelogram is a rectangle, then its diagonals are congruent. • The converse is true.
Example 1 Quadrilateral STRU is a rectangle. S T R U
Example 3 • Quadrilateral JKLM has vertices J(-2,3),K(1,4), L(3,-2), and M(0, -3). Determine whether JKLM is a rectangle by using the distance formula.
