Front

What is a quadrilateral?

Back

A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides, four vertices, and four angles.

Front

What is a parallelogram?

Back

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length.

Front

What is a trapezoid?

Back

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has at least one pair of parallel sides.

Front

What is a rectangle?

Back

A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles.

Front

What is a square?

Back

A square is a rectangle with all four sides of equal length.

Front

What is a rhombus?

Back

A rhombus is a parallelogram with all four sides of equal length.

Front

How do you find the length of a side of a rectangle given its coordinates?

Back

To find the length of a side, calculate the distance between the two endpoints using the distance formula: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What are the properties of a parallelogram?

Back

The properties of a parallelogram include: opposite sides are equal, opposite angles are equal, and the diagonals bisect each other.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?

Back

The area of a rectangle is calculated using the formula: Area = length × width.

Front

What is the difference between a rectangle and a rhombus?

Back

A rectangle has right angles, while a rhombus has equal side lengths but not necessarily right angles.
