You Will Learn To Identify and Use The: Properties of Rectangles, Rhombi, and Squares

This document discusses properties of rectangles, rhombi, and squares. It defines them as types of parallelograms and explores their defining characteristics, such as rectangles having four right angles, rhombuses having four congruent sides and perpendicular diagonals, and squares having four congruent sides and right angles. Theorems and examples are provided to illustrate properties of the diagonals and angles of these shapes.
