Properties of Rhombuses, Rectangles and Squares

Front

What is a rhombus?

Back

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

Front

What is a rectangle?

Back

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are equal and all angles that are right angles (90 degrees).

Front

What is a square?

Back

A square is a quadrilateral that is both a rectangle and a rhombus, meaning all sides are equal and all angles are right angles.

Front

Are all rectangles rhombuses?

Back

Never true. While all squares are rectangles and rhombuses, not all rectangles are rhombuses.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles of a rectangle?

Back

Consecutive angles of a rectangle are not complementary; they are all right angles.

Front

What is the property of the diagonals in a rhombus?

Back

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles but are not necessarily congruent.

Front

What is the measure of angle 1 if it is given as 54, 108, 72, or 36 degrees?

Back

The measure of angle 1 is 72 degrees.

Front

Are the diagonals of a rectangle congruent?

Back

Always true. The diagonals of a rectangle are always congruent.

Front

What is the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360 degrees.
