Slide 1

Quadrilaterals Bryce Hall 4 Wennersten

Slide 2

Parallelograms Definition: a quadrilateral having both pairs of opposite sides parallel to each other.

Slide 3

Properties The opposite sides are parallel The opposite sides are also congruent The opposite angles are congruent The diagonals bisect each other Bisects

Slide 4

Formulas for Parallelograms Perimeter = 2a + 2b Area = b x h The area is b x h because a parallelogram is basically just two right triangles and a rectangle, so the area = length x width and length x width = b x h :3

Slide 5

Properties we dont Know The adjacents sides are parallel, so their measure is 180 x + y = 180

Slide 6

Rhombus Definition: an equilateral parallelogram, including the square as a special case.

Slide 7

Properties of Rhombuses Have 4 equal/congruent/same sides Their diagonals are perpendicular Diagonals make right triangles The diagonals bisect their angles

Slide 8

Formulas Perimeter = all four sides added together x + x + x +x (x4) = perimeter Area = length of 2 diagonals times Area = ab

Slide 9

Properties of the Angles of a Rhombus (Stuff we dont know yet) Adjacent sides of Rhombus are supplementary (Add up to 180)

Slide 10

Rectangles Definition: a parallelogram having four right angles. gay rectangle

Slide 11

Properties of Rectangles Four right angles (all 90) Diagonals are congruent This picture is a rectangle!!!

Slide 12

Formulas of Rectangles Perimeter is the two lengths and the two heights added together l + l + w + w = perimeter Area is the length times the width l x w = height

Slide 13

Special Quadrilaterals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

Slide 14

Trapezoids Definition: a quadrilateral plane figure having two parallel and two nonparallel sides

Slide 15

Properties of Trapezoids Only have one set of parallel sides The midsegment is the average of the base lengths The midsegment is parallel to the bases The angles on either side of the base are parallel The diagonals are congruent The adjacent angles are parallel (Add up to 180) b = base, a = leg

Slide 16

Formulas of Trapezoids Perimeter is the length of every side leg1 + leg2 + base1 + base2 = perimeter Area is the of the height times both of the bases added together Area = h (b + b)

Slide 17

Why we use the formula h (b + b) for area of a Trapezoid The formula is based on two identical trapezoids side by side, so theyre a parallelogram!!!! We have to use the formula for parallelograms ( base x height) Since the are of this figurative parallelogram is two of the trapezoids, we find of it!!!!!!!!

Slide 18

Kites Theres no definition, but it looks like a kite! Gay kite!

Slide 19

Properties of a Kite Two pairs of congruent sides Two of the sides arent congruent The diagonals are perpendicular One pair of the opposite angles are congruent The intersection of the diagonals make right triangles (Because theyre perpendicular) The long diagonal bisects the short one

Slide 20

Formulas for Kites The perimeter is all of the sides added a + a + b + b = perimeter Add the two diagonals and divide by 2 or multiply by area = ab

Slide 21

Isosceles trapezoids Theres no definition, but an isosceles trapezoid has one pair of equal sides!!!!!!! (Isosceles trapezoids have the same formulas as normal trapezoids!)

Slide 22

Properties of Isosceles Trapezoids Pairs of the base angles are congruent Diagonals are congruent The angles on either side of the bases are the same size
