  1. A Fairy Tale Brought to you by Moody Mathematics

  2. (Ones Upon a Time…) 1,1,1,1,1,1 Moody Mathematics

  3. There was a land … Called Quadraterra Moody Mathematics

  4. All of the people of Quadraterra had 4 sides. Moody Mathematics

  5. They worked hard…. Moody Mathematics

  6. ….played games…. (like Scrabble and Checkers) Moody Mathematics

  7. … watched TV shows like “Sponge Bob Square Pants”… Moody Mathematics

  8. …and ate 3 square meals a day. Moody Mathematics

  9. Let me tell you about some of the special Quadraterrans, who we now call the Quadrilaterals…. Moody Mathematics

  10. We would call them trapezoids today. They had exactly one pair of parallel sides which made them especially suited for building things. The Serfs Moody Mathematics

  11. Like Houses… Moody Mathematics

  12. The Royal Family of Quadraterra Moody Mathematics

  13. The Queen The Queen, needed to have qualities greater than any serf or knight. Moody Mathematics

  14. Her opposite sides were parallel which made her a fair and just Queen. Moody Mathematics

  15. Her opposite sides were congruent, a mark of physical beauty in Quadraterra. Moody Mathematics

  16. Her opposite angles were congruent too, indicating that she had great integrity. Moody Mathematics

  17. Her consecutive angles were supplementary, a sign of intelligence. Moody Mathematics

  18. Not only did she have outer beauty, but inner peace, as her diagonals bisected each other. Moody Mathematics

  19. She was… Queen Parallelogram Moody Mathematics

  20. The Prince Naturally, the prince inherited all of his mother, (the Queen’s), fine qualities of justice, intelligence, and good looks . Moody Mathematics

  21. The Prince had even more qualities which would one day make him a good King. Moody Mathematics

  22. The Prince had congruent diagonals, indicating that he was loyal to the King. Moody Mathematics

  23. What really set him apart were his 4 right angles, indicating that he had great physical strength. Moody Mathematics

  24. He was… Prince Rectangle Moody Mathematics

  25. The Princess Naturally, the princess inherited all of her mother, (the Queen’s), beauty, integrity, and other fine qualities. Moody Mathematics

  26. However, the princess was even more beautiful than her mother. She was beautiful from all 4 of her congruent sides. Moody Mathematics

  27. Each of her diagonals showed off her symmetrical form, and bisected angles. Moody Mathematics

  28. Unlike the Prince whose strength was on the outside, The Princess had inner strength. Her right angles were formed where her diagonals intersected. Moody Mathematics

  29. She was Princess Rhombus Moody Mathematics

  30. The Knight In order to serve the king, he had to be loyal. So, like the prince, the Knight had diagonals that were congruent. Moody Mathematics

  31. The Knight was fair and just, but not more than the Prince. Only one pair of his opposite sides were parallel. Moody Mathematics

  32. The Knight was also handsome, but again, not more than the Prince. He had a different pair of opposite sides that were congruent, (his legs, that he needed for riding horses). Moody Mathematics

  33. The knight needed integrity and intelligence to serve the King. He had 2 pairs of congruent angles and 2 pairs of supplementary angles. Moody Mathematics

  34. Sir Isosceles Trapezoid Moody Mathematics

  35. The Court Jester Moody Mathematics

  36. It was the Court Jester’s job to amuse the royal family. He needed to be able to capture the imagination and interest of each member. Moody Mathematics

  37. Queen Parallelogram was amused by the Court Jester because one pair of his opposite angles were congruent like her own, but the other pair was not. (Wow!) Moody Mathematics

  38. Prince Rectangle was amused by the Court Jester because one of his diagonals was bisected by the other, like his own, but the other one was not. (Crazy!) Moody Mathematics

  39. Princess Rhombus was delighted by the Court Jester the most of all. His diagonals were perpendicular like her very own! Moody Mathematics

  40. Neither her brother, the Prince, nor her mother the Queen had any consecutive sides congruent like she did. The Court Jester did, but his opposite sides were not congruent!! (Imagine!) Moody Mathematics

  41. Each of Princess Rhombus’ diagonals was a line of symmetry, but only one of The Court Jester’s was! (Oh my!) Moody Mathematics

  42. The Court Jester was… The Kite Moody Mathematics

  43. Finally, who was the King of Quadraterra? Moody Mathematics

  44. The King of Quadrilaterals The Square! Moody Mathematics

  45. To be a good King, he must have more good qualities than anyone else in the kingdom. Moody Mathematics

  46. The King has all of the qualities that the Queen has… 1. His opposite sides were parallel which made him a fair and just King. Moody Mathematics

  47. (2.) His opposite sides were congruent, a mark of physical attractiveness. Moody Mathematics

  48. (3). His opposite angles were congruent too, indicating that he had great integrity. Moody Mathematics

  49. (4). His consecutive angles were supplementary, a sign of intelligence. Moody Mathematics

  50. (5). And the King had inner peace, as his diagonals bisected each other. Moody Mathematics
