This document defines and describes properties of various quadrilaterals:
- Rectangles have four right angles and opposite sides of equal length. The area formula is length x width.
- Parallelograms have two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite angles are equal and adjacent angles sum to 180 degrees. Diagonals bisect each other.
- Trapezoids have one pair of parallel sides. Isosceles trapezoids have two pairs of equal angles and equal or equal length diagonals. Right trapezoids contain one right angle. The area of any trapezoid is half the product of the height and sum of the parallel sides.
2. Learning
Objectives
1. Define square, rectangular,
rhombus, kite, parallelogram, and
trapezoid
2. Describe the properties of square,
rectangular, rhombus, kite,
parallelogram, and trapezoid
3. Discover the formula of the
perimeter and area of square,
rectangular, rhombus, kite,
parallelogram, and trapezoid
8. A rectangle is a quadrilateral
that has 4 right angles and its
opposite sides are equal in
length.
Based on the properties
above, we can conclude
that:
17. 1. Make a Rectangle
2. Cut the rectangle
3. Slide the cut to the right parallelogram
18. 1. Make a Rectangle
2. Make one of its diagonal
3. Cut the rectangle on its
diagonal to form 2 the same
triangles
4. Coincide those two
triangles in the same base or
in the same altitude

19. Let ABCD be a parallelogram and ∠ABC
= x°, find the other angles!
Use the properties of parallel lines!

A
Observe the figure below!
20. Given: ∠ABC = x°
∠ C2= ∠ABC= x°, because ∠ C2
and ∠ABC are alternate interior
angles.
∠ C1= 180°- x°, because ∠ C1 is
supplement of ∠ C2.
∠ D2= ∠ C2= x°, because they are
corresponding angles.
∠ A4= ∠ D2= x°, because they are
alternate interior angles.
∠ A3= 180°- x°, because ∠ A3 is
supplement of ∠ A4.
