Objectives • To identify any quadrilateral, by name, as specifically as you can, based on its characteristics
Quadrilateral • a quadrilateral is a polygon with 4 sides.
Specific Quadrilaterals • There are several specific types of quadrilaterals. They are classified based on their sides or angles.
A quadrilateral simply has 4 sides – no other special requirements.
Parallelogram • Two pairs of parallel sides • opposite sides are actually congruent.
Rhombus • Still has two pairs of parallel sides; with opposite sides congruent. 4 in. 4 in. 4 in. 4 in.
Rectangle • Still has two pairs of parallel sides; with opposite sides congruent. • Has four right angles
A square is a specific case of both a rhombus AND a rectangle, having four right angles and 4 congruent sides.
Square • Still has two pairs of parallel sides. • Has four congruent sides • Has four right angles
An isosceles trapezoid is a trapeziod with the non-parallel sides congruent.
Trapezoid • has one pair of parallel sides. Isosceles trapezoid trapezoids (Each of these examples shown has top and bottom sides parallel.)
An kite is a quadrilateral with NO parallel sides but 2 pairs of adjacent congruent sides.
Example of a Kite 4 in. 2 in. 2 in. 4 in.
