Ch 6 - Properties of Rectangles, Rhombuses and Squares

Front

What is a rectangle?

Back

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles and opposite sides that are equal in length.

Front

What is a rhombus?

Back

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all four sides of equal length and opposite angles that are equal.

Front

What is a square?

Back

A square is a special type of rectangle and rhombus where all four sides are equal in length and all angles are right angles.

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.

Front

How do you classify a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides?

Back

It is classified as a parallelogram.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles of a rhombus?

Back

In a rhombus, opposite angles are equal, and adjacent angles are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).

Front

What is the measure of each angle in a rectangle?

Back

Each angle in a rectangle measures 90 degrees.

Front

If one angle of a rhombus measures 104 degrees, what is the measure of the opposite angle?

Back

The opposite angle also measures 104 degrees.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?

Back

The area of a rectangle is calculated as Area = length × width.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a rhombus?

Back

The area of a rhombus can be calculated using the formula Area = (diagonal1 × diagonal2) / 2.
