Section 6-1 Enrichment (Quadrilaterals)

Front

What is a quadrilateral?

Back

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

Front

What are the properties of a rectangle?

Back

A rectangle has opposite sides that are equal and parallel, and all angles are right angles (90 degrees).

Front

What defines a rhombus?

Back

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

Front

What is an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid with at least one pair of parallel sides and the non-parallel sides are of equal length.

Front

What is a parallelogram?

Back

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

Front

Are all rectangles also parallelograms?

Back

Yes, all rectangles are parallelograms because they have opposite sides that are equal and parallel.

Front

Can a rhombus be a rectangle?

Back

Yes, a rhombus can be a rectangle if all angles are right angles, making it a special type of rhombus.

Front

What is a kite in geometry?

Back

A kite is a quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of adjacent sides that are equal.

Front

Are all kites parallelograms?

Back

No, not all kites are parallelograms; a kite does not necessarily have opposite sides that are equal.

Front

What is the relationship between trapezoids and parallelograms?

Back

Trapezoids have at least one pair of parallel sides, while parallelograms have two pairs of parallel sides.
