Front

What are the properties of a rectangle?

Back

A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles. Opposite sides are equal in length, and the diagonals are congruent.

Front

How do you find the length of a side in a rectangle using the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

In a rectangle, if you know the lengths of two sides (a and b), the length of the diagonal (c) can be found using the formula: c = √(a² + b²).

Front

What is a rhombus?

Back

A rhombus is a type of parallelogram where all four sides are of equal length.

Front

What are the properties of the diagonals of a rhombus?

Back

The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other and bisect each other at right angles.

Front

How do you find the measure of an angle in a rhombus?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between the sides and angles in a rectangle?

Back

In a rectangle, opposite sides are equal, and all angles are right angles (90 degrees).

Front

If the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, what can be inferred about the shape?

Back

If the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, it confirms that the figure is a parallelogram.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a parallelogram?

Back

The area of a parallelogram is calculated using the formula: Area = base × height.

Front

How do you determine if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram?

Back

A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if one pair of opposite sides is both parallel and equal in length.
