Lesson 6–5 Objectives • Be able to prove that a given quadrilateral is a rectangle, rhombus, or square.
The following can be used to prove that a parallelogram is a rectangle.
Both pairs of opposites sides of ABCD are congruent, so ABCD is a . Since mABC = 90°, one angle ABCD is a right angle. ABCD is a rectangle by Theorem 6-5-1. Proving a figure is a rectangle A manufacturer makes a desktop mold so that AB CD and BC AD and mABC = 90°. Explain why ABCD must be a rectangle.
Remember! You can also prove that a given quadrilateral is a rectangle, rhombus, or square by using the definitions of the special quadrilaterals. To prove that a given quadrilateral is a square, it is sufficient to show that the figure is BOTH a rectangle AND a rhombus.
Applying special parallelogram conditions Determine if the conclusion is valid. If not, tell what additional information is needed to make it valid. Given: EFFG, EGFH Conclusion: EFGH is a rhombus.
Applying special parallelogram conditions Given: EFFG, EGFH Conclusion: EFGH is a rhombus. The conclusion is not valid. By Theorem 6-5-3, if one pair of consecutive sides of a parallelogram are congruent, then the parallelogram is a rhombus. By Theorem 6-5-4, if the diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular, then the parallelogram is a rhombus. To apply either theorem, you must first know that ABCD is a parallelogram.
Applying special parallelogram conditions Determine if the conclusion is valid. If not, tell what additional information is needed to make it valid. Given: EBBG, FBBH, EGFH, ∆EBF∆EBH Conclusion: EFGH is a square.
Quad. with diags. bisecting each other Applying special parallelogram conditions Given: EBBG, FBBH, EGFH, ∆EBF∆EBH Conclusion: EFGH is a square. Step 1 Determine if EFGH is a parallelogram. Given EFGH is a parallelogram.
with diags. rect. with one pair of cons. sides rhombus Applying special parallelogram conditions Step 2 Determine if EFGH is a rectangle. Given. EFGH is a rectangle. Step 3 Determine if EFGH is a rhombus. EFGH is a rhombus.
Applying special parallelogram conditions Step 4 Determine is EFGH is a square. Since EFGH is a rectangle and a rhombus, it has four right angles and four congruent sides. So EFGH is a square by definition. The conclusion is valid.
Applying special parallelogram conditions Determine if the conclusion is valid. If not, tell what additional information is needed to make it valid. Given:ABC is a right angle. Conclusion:ABCD is a rectangle.
Applying special parallelogram conditions Given:ABC is a right angle. Conclusion:ABCD is a rectangle. The conclusion is not valid. By Theorem 6-5-1, if one angle of a parallelogram is a right angle, then the parallelogram is a rectangle. To apply this theorem, you need to know that ABCD is a parallelogram .
Identifying special parallelograms Use the diagonals to determine whether a parallelogram with the given vertices is a rectangle, rhombus, or square. Give all the names that apply. P(–1, 4), Q(2, 6), R(4, 3), S(1, 1)
