A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides
parallel (and therefore opposite angles equal).
RECTANGLE
SQUARE
Opposite sides are parallel
and congruent. All angles
measures 90 degrees.
RHOMBUS All sides are congruent.
Opposite sides are parallel.

Use the rectangle ACDB and the given information to answer
each.
a.
Since ACDB is a rectangle,
m ∠ 𝐴𝐵𝐶+𝑚 ∠𝐶𝐵𝐷=90
65+ 𝑚∠ 𝐶𝐵𝐷=90
𝑚 ∠𝐶𝐵𝐷=90 − 65
𝑚 ∠𝐶𝐵𝐷=25
and by Alternate interior angle theorem.
𝑚 ∠ 𝐷𝐶𝐵=65
𝑚 ∠ 𝐵𝐶𝐴=25
The diagonals
of a rhombus IF ACDB is a
are rhombus, then
perpendicular
The diagonals
of a square IF ACDB is a
are congruent rhombus, then
and are
perpendicular.
Quadrilateral ACDB is a rectangle. Find each missing value using the
given information.
a. If AD = 40 cm, find
AE.
Because rhombus is a
parallelogram, its diagonals bisect
each other.
