Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Parallelogram | -quadrilateral -2 pairs opp parallel sides -2 pairs opp congruent angles -2 pairs opp congruent sides -consecutive angles are supp -diagonals bisect each other |
| rectangle | -parallelogram with 4 congruent angles, 4 right angles (equiangular) -all properties of a parallelogram apply -diagonals are congruent |
| rhombus | -parallelogram with 4 congruent sides (equilateral) -all properties of a parallelogram apply -diagonals are perpendicular -diagonals bisect the angles |
| square | -parallelogram with 4 congruent sides and angles (equilateral, equiangular= regular) -both rectangle and rhombus -all properties of a parallelogram, rhombus, and rectangle apply |
| kite | -quadrilateral with no parallel sides but two pairs of adjacent congruent sides (opp sides are not congruent) -diagonals are perpendicular -only 1 pair of opp angles are congruent (between non-congruent sides) -other 2 angles are bisected by diagonal |
| trapezoid | -quadrilateral with 1 pair of parallel sides -parallel sides are bases -non parallel sides are legs -midsegment (median) joins the midpoints of the legs and is parallel to both bases (avg of the bases) -midsegment=1/2 (b1+b2) |
| isosceles trapezoid | -trapezoid with congruent legs -diagonals are congruent -base angles are congruent |
