Properties of Special Parallelograms
  • In this lesson, you will study three special
    types of parallelograms rhombuses, rectangles
    and squares.

A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right
angles.
A rhombus is a parallelogram with four congruent
sides
A square is a parallelogram with four congruent
sides and four right angles.
10
Venn Diagram shows relationships-- MEMORIZE
  • Each shape has the properties of every group that
    it belongs to. For instance, a square is a
    rectangle, a rhombus and a parallelogram so it
    has all of the properties of those shapes.

Ex. 1 Describing a special parallelogram
  • Decide whether the statement is always,
    sometimes, or never true.
  • A rhombus is a rectangle.
  • A parallelogram is a rectangle.

Ex. 1 Describing a special parallelogram
  • Decide whether the statement is always,
    sometimes, or never true.
  • A rhombus is a rectangle.
  • The statement is sometimes true. In the
    Venn diagram, the regions for rhombuses and
    rectangles overlap. IF the rhombus is a square,
    it is a rectangle.

Ex. 1 Describing a special parallelogram
  • Decide whether the statement is always,
    sometimes, or never true.
  • A parallelogram is a rectangle.
  • The statement is sometimes true. Some
    parallelograms are rectangles. In the Venn
    diagram, you can see that some of the shapes in
    the parallelogram box are in the area for
    rectangles, but many arent.

17
Ex. 2 Using properties of special parallelograms
  • ABCD is a rectangle. What else do you know about
    ABCD?
  • Because ABCD is a rectangle, it has four right
    angles by definition. The definition also states
    that rectangles are parallelograms, so ABCD has
    all the properties of a parallelogram
  • Opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
  • Opposite angles are congruent and consecutive
    angles are supplementary.
  • Diagonals bisect each other.

18
Take note
  • A rectangle is defined as a parallelogram with
    four right angles. But any quadrilateral with
    four right angles is a rectangle because any
    quadrilateral with four right angles is a
    parallelogram.
  • Corollaries about special quadrilaterals
  • Rhombus Corollary A quadrilateral is a rhombus
    if and only if it has four congruent sides.
  • Rectangle Corollary A quadrilateral is a
    rectangle if and only if it has four right
    angles.
  • Square Corollary A quadrilateral is a square if
    and only if it is a rhombus and a rectangle.
  • You can use these to prove that a quadrilateral
    is a rhombus, rectangle or square without proving
    first that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Ex. 3 Using properties of a Rhombus
  • In the diagram at the right,
  • PQRS is a rhombus. What
  • is the value of y?
  • All four sides of a rhombus are ?, so RS PS.
  • 5y 6 2y 3 Equate lengths of ? sides.
  • 5y 2y 9 Add 6 to each side.
  • 3y 9 Subtract 2y from each side.
  • y 3 Divide each side by 3.

    rhombuses and rectangles.
  • Theorem 6.11 A parallelogram is a rhombus if
    and only if its diagonals are perpendicular.
  • ABCD is a rhombus if and only if AC? BD.

22

    and only if each diagonal bisects a pair of
    opposite angles.
  • ABCD is a rhombus if and only if AC bisects ?DAB
    and ?BCD and BD bisects ?ADC and ?CBA.

NOTE
  • You can rewrite Theorem 6.11 as a conditional
    statement and its converse.
  • Conditional statement If the diagonals of a
    parallelogram are perpendicular, then the
    parallelogram is a rhombus.
  • Converse If a parallelogram is a rhombus, then
    its diagonals are perpendicular.

Ex. 5 Coordinate Proof of Theorem 6.11Given
ABCD is a parallelogram, AC ? BD.Prove ABCD is
a rhombus
  • Assign coordinates. Because AC? BD, place ABCD
    in the coordinate plane so AC and BD lie on the
    axes and their intersection is at the origin.
  • Let (0, a) be the coordinates of A, and let (b,
    0) be the coordinates of B.
  • Because ABCD is a parallelogram, the diagonals
    bisect each other and OA OC. So, the
    coordinates of C are (0, - a). Similarly the
    coordinates of D are (- b, 0).

A(0, a)
D(- b, 0)
B(b, 0)
C(0, - a)
33
Ex. 5 Coordinate Proof of Theorem 6.11Given
ABCD is a parallelogram, AC ? BD.Prove ABCD is
a rhombus
  • Find the lengths of the sides of ABCD. Use the
    distance formula (See youre never going to get
    rid of this)
  • ABv(b 0)2 (0 a)2 vb2 a2
  • BC v(0 - b)2 ( a - 0)2 vb2 a2
  • CD v(- b 0)2 0 - ( a)2 vb2 a2
  • DA v(0 (- b)2 (a 0)2 vb2 a2

A(0, a)
D(- b, 0)
B(b, 0)
C(0, - a)
All the side lengths are equal, so ABCD is a
rhombus.

6.5 Trapezoids and Kites
51
U.E.Q
  • What are the properties of different
    quadrilaterals? How do we use the formulas of
    areas of different quadrilaterals to solve
    real-life problems?

52
E.Q
  • What are some properties of trapezoids and kits?

53
Objectives
  • Use properties of trapezoids.
  • Use properties of kites.

54
Using properties of trapezoids
  • A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one
    pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are
    the bases. A trapezoid has two pairs of base
    angles. For instance in trapezoid ABCD ?D and ?C
    are one pair of base angles. The other pair is
    ?A and ?B. The nonparallel sides are the legs of
    the trapezoid.

55
Using properties of trapezoids
  • If the legs of a trapezoid are congruent, then
    the trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid.

56
Trapezoid Theorems
  • Theorem 6.14
  • If a trapezoid is isosceles, then each pair of
    base angles is congruent.
  • ?A ? ?B, ?C ? ?D

57
Trapezoid Theorems
  • Theorem 6.15
  • If a trapezoid has a pair of congruent base
    angles, then it is an isosceles trapezoid.
  • ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid

58
Trapezoid Theorems
  • Theorem 6.16
  • A trapezoid is isosceles if and only if its
    diagonals are congruent.
  • ABCD is isosceles if and only if AC ? BD.

59
Midsegment of a trapezoid
  • The midsegment of a trapezoid is the segment that
    connects the midpoints of its legs. Theorem 6.17
    is similar to the Midsegment Theorem for
    triangles.

60
Theorem 6.17 Midsegment of a trapezoid
  • The midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel to each
    base and its length is one half the sums of the
    lengths of the bases.
  • MNAD, MNBC
  • MN ½ (AD BC)

61
Ex. 3 Finding Midsegment lengths of trapezoids
  • LAYER CAKE A baker is making a cake like the one
    at the right. The top layer has a diameter of 8
    inches and the bottom layer has a diameter of 20
    inches. How big should the middle layer be?

  • Use the midsegment theorem for trapezoids.
  • DG ½(EF CH)

63
Using properties of kites
  • A kite is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of
    consecutive congruent sides, but opposite sides
    are not congruent.

64
Kite theorems
  • Theorem 6.18
  • If a quadrilateral is a kite, then its diagonals
    are perpendicular.
  • AC ? BD

65
Kite theorems
  • Theorem 6.19
  • If a quadrilateral is a kite, then exactly one
    pair of opposite angles is congruent.
  • ?A ? ?C, ?B ? ?D

66
Ex. 4 Using the diagonals of a kite
  • WXYZ is a kite so the diagonals are
    perpendicular. You can use the Pythagorean
    Theorem to find the side lengths.
  • WX v202 122 23.32
  • XY v122 122 16.97
  • Because WXYZ is a kite, WZ WX 23.32, and ZY
    XY 16.97

67
Ex. 5 Angles of a kite
  • Find m?G and m?J
  • in the diagram at the
  • right.
  • SOLUTION
  • GHJK is a kite, so ?G ? ?J and m?G m?J.
  • 2(m?G) 132 60 360Sum of measures of int.
    ?s of a quad. is 360
  • 2(m?G) 168Simplify
  • m?G 84 Divide

Summarizing Properties of Quadrilaterals
Quadrilateral
  • In this chapter, you have studied the seven
    special types of quadrilaterals shown at the
    right. Notice that each shape has all the
    properties of the shapes linked above it. For
    instance, squares have the properties of
    rhombuses, rectangles, parallelograms, and
    quadrilaterals.

Ex. 1 Identifying Quadrilaterals
  • Quadrilateral ABCD has at least one pair of
    opposite sides congruent. What kinds of
    quadrilaterals meet this condition?

Parallelogram
Rhombus
Opposites sides are ?.
All sides are congruent.
Opposite sides are congruent.
Legs are congruent.
All sides are congruent.
77
Ex. 2 Connecting midpoints of sides
  • When you join the midpoints of the sides of any
    quadrilateral, what special quadrilateral is
    formed? Why?

78
Ex. 2 Connecting midpoints of sides
  • Solution Let E, F, G, and H be the midpoints of
    the sides of any quadrilateral, ABCD as shown.
  • If you draw AC, the Midsegment Theorem for
    triangles says that FGAC and EGAC, so FGEH.
    Similar reasoning shows that EFHG.
  • So by definition, EFGH is a parallelogram.

79
Proof with Special Quadrilaterals
  • When you want to prove that a quadrilateral has a
    specific shape, you can use either the definition
    of the shape as in example 2 or you can use a
    theorem.

80
Proving Quadrilaterals are Rhombuses
  • You have learned 3 ways to prove that a
    quadrilateral is a rhombus.
  • You can use the definition and show that the
    quadrilateral is a parallelogram that has four
    congruent sides. It is easier, however, to use
    the Rhombus Corollary and simply show that all
    four sides of the quadrilateral are congruent.
  • Show that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram
    and that the diagonals are perpendicular (Thm.
    6.11)
  • Show that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram
    and that each diagonal bisects a pair of opposite
    angles. (Thm 6.12)

81
Ex. 3 Proving a quadrilateral is a rhombus
  • Show KLMN is a rhombus
  • Solution You can use any of the three ways
    described in the concept summary above. For
    instance, you could show that opposite sides have
    the same slope and that the diagonals are
    perpendicular. Another way shown in the next
    slide is to prove that all four sides have the
    same length.
  • AHA DISTANCE FORMULA If you want, look on pg.
    365 for the whole explanation of the distance
    formula
  • So, because LMNKMNKL, KLMN is a rhombus.

  • What type of quadrilateral is ABCD? Explain your
    reasoning.
  • Solution ?A and ?D are supplementary, but ?A
    and ?B are not. So, ABDC, but AD is not
    parallel to BC. By definition, ABCD is a
    trapezoid. Because base angles are congruent,
    ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid

    point N to produce four congruent segments AN ?
    BN ? CN ? DN. What type of quadrilateral is
    ABCD? Prove that your answer is correct.
  • First Step Draw a diagram. Draw the diagonals
    as described. Then connect the endpoints to draw
    quadrilateral ABCD.

  • First prove that ABCD is a parallelogram.
  • Because BN ? DN and AN ? CN, BD and AC bisect
    each other. Because the diagonals of ABCD bisect
    each other, ABCD is a parallelogram.
  • Then prove that the diagonals of ABCD are
    congruent.
  • From the given you can write BN AN and DN CN
    so, by the addition property of Equality, BN DN
    AN CN. By the Segment Addition Postulate, BD
    BN DN and AC AN CN so, by substitution,
    BD AC.
  • So, BD ? AC.
  • ?ABCD is a parallelogram with congruent
    diagonals, so ABCD is a rectangle.
