Module 7 Review: Properties of Quadrilaterals

Front

Key properties of a parallelogram

Back

Parallelograms have opposite sides and angles that are congruent. Their consecutive angles are supplementary, and their diagonals bisect each other.

Front

Similarities and differences between a rectangle and a square

Back

Both are parallelograms, but a square must have four congruent sides and four right angles. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

Front

Similarities and differences between rhombi and squares

Back

Both have four congruent sides and perpendicular diagonals that bisect the angles. Only squares have congruent diagonals.

Front

Unique feature of a trapezoid

Back

Trapezoids have only one pair of parallel sides, unlike parallelograms which have two pairs.

Front

Features of an isosceles trapezoid

Back

Isosceles trapezoids have congruent legs, congruent lower and upper base angles, congruent diagonals, and supplementary opposite angles.

Front

Properties of a kite

Back

Kites have two pairs of consecutive congruent sides, but opposite sides are not congruent. They have perpendicular diagonals, one pair of congruent angles, and one pair of bisected angles.

Front

Quadrilaterals with congruent diagonals

Back

Rectangles, squares, and isosceles trapezoids always have congruent diagonals.

Front

Parallelograms with perpendicular diagonals

Back

Rhombi, squares, and kites have diagonals that are perpendicular to each other.

Front

Which parallelograms have diagonals that are bisecting its angles?

Back

rhombus or a square

Front

Why a square can be considered a rectangle

Back

A square possesses all the properties of a rectangle (opposite sides congruent, four right angles, and diagonals bisect each other) plus additional properties.
