Properties of Quadrilaterals

The document defines and provides properties of different types of quadrilaterals including: 1. Parallelograms have both pairs of opposite sides parallel and congruent. 2. Rectangles are parallelograms with right angles. Diagonals are congruent. 3. Squares have the properties of rectangles and rhombi. 4. Trapezoids have one pair of opposite sides parallel. Consecutive angles are supplementary. 5. Kites have both pairs of consecutive sides congruent but opposite sides not congruent. Diagonals are perpendicular.

Some tips:

Committing the properties of quadrilaterals to memory will make in much easier for you to be able to apply
them. The practice problems will give you an opportunity to test your knowledge of the properties.

If you are faced with a sometimes, always, never question use the chart in the following way:

1. If you move down the chart then use Sometimes.


2. If you move up the chart then use Always.
3. If you move across the chart then use Never.

For example: A square is a rectangle? Sometimes, Always, or Never.

(The answer is Always because you moved up the chart.)

A rectangle is a trapezoid? Sometimes, Always, or Never.

(The answer is Never because you moved right across the chart.)

A quadrilateral is a kite? Sometimes, Always, or Never.

(The answer is Sometimes because you moved down the chart.)
